(I posted this in the speakers forurm... but noone reads that stuff)

I was thinking of building sealed boxes for my door speakers. I was wondering if that might be a good idea, or if anyone 'has' done it. If so, do you have any imput on it. I just decided that it might be an interesting idea this morning while i was sitting in my car.

not really worth it for factory size speakers but if you wanted to get rid of vibrations and such dynamatting the doors would fix that but if you want to do that matt let me no i have a cheaper solution and easier to use to do that.

thanks,

I think thats a waste of time and money. A car door is usually 'kind of' sealed already. If you want more bass component speakers are not the way to do it.

most component "door speakers" are designed to be in an infinite baffle so sealing them in enclosures would decrease performance.
If you're using something like a midbass driver, you could seal off the entire door panel and dynamat it, which will help.. but it gets tricky to do with everything inside the doors already.
best bet then is to make a kick pod that's sealed in fiberglass.

well, the point wasn't to get 'more' bass from them, but i put one in a small box that i made... and it made the sound much clearer, and projected it much better... i have an older car, and the door is built different, it's far from sealed. i was just wondering if it was possible to build a box for it... but once i put some thought into it... i decided not to, because it would interfere with my power windows...
