MY first attmept at glassing(PICS)

not that I want to get into it, but I was speaking about this install,
honda doors are in no way "infinite baffle" in a stock form.

You don't think this will be a good way to get mid-bass?

Comparing a sealed kick panel (the ones shown) versus a Honda door....I think the mid-bass will be "louder" from the door. The OVERALL sound has a WAY better chance of sounding good in the kick.... There are definate advantages and disadvantages to both places.

Im not a big fan of a 2-way front stage, so lets get that part out of the way.


I would have rather seen (if I was asked) the MB in the door (with proper sound damping), and the tweeter molded into the a-pillar. If I could have suggested a 3-way setup, it might go like this:

Option 1: MB in the door (properly damped), 3 or 4" MR in the kick, and tweet on the a-pillar.

Option 2: MB in the kick, and MR and tweet in the a-pillat (would have to be a 3" probably)

Option 3: 6/7/8" MB in the door, and 4/5" coax in the kick....maybe component set, but the tweeter position would be a LOT different that what is being presented.


***Note**** I think the work being done is AWESOME for a first timer!!!!

yeah i had planned on putting everything in the door but wiring the door was going to be a PITA! also, the sheet that came in the box of speakers gave 4 options for where to put the speakers and their sound quality, from highest to lowest and the kick was ranked #1.

ill play around with other options later i am just dying to hear these babies. and it sucks driving around with no radio/music.....

to put in an antenna would i have to use a retractable CRX antenna or could i use a short, fixed antenna.... and where would i find either?...

thanks for the praise, everyone
