I did  Just takes a TON of work, cardboard works like a charm. |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 6934 Registered: Jul-06 | No offense mike, but cardboard and sound deadener don't equal the strength of a real MDF or fiberglass enclosure. Also what about the felt strip against the bottom of the window, theres no way to seal that. |

Gold Member Username: Mike11202DD9515G VFL 200.1 = : , Sewell, NJ US Post Number: 1607 Registered: Nov-06 | In this application it was tested on DIY Mobile, cardboard works just as good. MDF will just make your doors extremely heavy. All it needs to do is separate the waves and the cardboard does that, no need to go overboard and use MDF. I don't have any air leaking at the bottom of the window so I don't think thats a problem. I don't make suggestions with out thorough research. |

Silver Member Username: MmaudioconceptsPost Number: 423 Registered: Jan-07 | nevermind what i just said i was thinking of something completely different |

Gold Member Username: Mike11202DD9515G VFL 200.1 = : , Sewell, NJ US Post Number: 1608 Registered: Nov-06 | i think you should just dynamat the door, get some closed cell foam like ensolite or second skin, seal the holes, and buy a pair of dynamat dynaxorb deflex pads this also helps reduce any road noise thats coming through the doors |

Silver Member Username: MmaudioconceptsPost Number: 424 Registered: Jan-07 | any suggestions on where to mount the tweeters in this install, because there will be two sets. |

Gold Member Username: Mike11202DD9515G VFL 200.1 = : , Sewell, NJ US Post Number: 1609 Registered: Nov-06 | mount them close to the mids |
|
Bronze Member Username: Bass_enjoyerPost Number: 28 Registered: Jun-07 | Most people will tell you close to the mids, and where they can aim towards your ears. The high frequencies are very directional and can be lost if aimed incorrectly. |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 6970 Registered: Jul-06 | Height is the most important thing when mounting tweeters. Move them up and down on on the doors and figure out what sounds just right, not too high not too low. |
