[QUOTE="req, post: 6327240, member: 555713"] thanks, here we go- the aluminum bar that i attached across the factory speaker hole is going to be the back of the pod. you can go deeper than this, but i did not need anything more because it will end up being IB in the door, so its not needed. im just going to drill 3 holes in the back of the mould where the screw clip holes are in the aluminum there seen in the pictures below; [IMG]http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/2968/006we.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/2408/015uw.jpg[/IMG] then im just going to put a gasket between the fiberglass and the bolt\washer and tighten it down with a bolt of some kind. the 'nut' im using is a captive nut that clips onto the aluminum and has threads in it. you can get them at lowes for cheap, usually you get tiny little flimsy ones with speakers- you know those little metal screw square things, the ones im using are heavy duty steel ones. all i gotta do is take the speaker out and then unscrew the 3 bolts, and the whole pod comes right off! quite convenient. as far as IB versus sealed\ported goes, its a toss up. you loose output when you go IB so you have to make up for it with cone area. thats why im using two 15's. also you have to remember that the speakers will unload at frequency - meaning there is no enclosure to boost the low end response and you need to be careful how low you let them play. subsonic filters are a must!! as far as the sound, its a very smooth sound - almost like a sealed box - but there is no 'enclosure gain' so its usually not as loud as you would expect unless you used something like a pair of aura NS15's or something, high out put high excursion high fidelity high price tag lol. you just need to make sure you set the crossovers correct and give them the right power thats all. i like them because they are space savers. just my opinion.
