No sarcasm about it.

Someone else did this and posted on it. I believe a second person did it- now Im the third.

The biggest thing with mid bass speakers is keeping the front and rear waves separated. If they mix then your sound quality goes to shit. By mounting the speaker with its face right onto the door panel and FULLY sealing off the front there is no way possible for the two waves to meet.

If you build some sort of baffle system you still will need to seal the front of the speaker to the door panel somehow. Easier said that done.

Thats why 5.25" speakers are the easiest choice for this task. They fit nicely into the area.

When you get speakers they usually come with the grille and some sort of expanded metal. I just took the emtal off and used the plastic ring as a spacer. Door panel- spacer- speaker face down (pointing out like it should) then screw from the back side into the door panel.
