[QUOTE="1aespinoza, post: 8710031, member: 654802"] You have the convertible Mini Cooper with the soft top right. IIRC, you had to use your 6.5s as woofers. Small cone area with low power cannot defeat the flexing of the soft top. As soon as you start moving, the car is bouncing making that roof flex. It is like a super woofer cone against those 6.5s. And since those same 6.5s are providing voice, it suffers as well. With no room to spare your options are quite limited. I know someone suggested an amplified enclosure, that may be your best bet. In retrospect, try mounting those 6.5s in a speaker baffle. About $12 at Autozone. It should keep them from overflexing by way of soft top. [/QUOTE]
