Thank you. A fair amount of work went into all of that, especially the build with the enclosures. Definitely at the bare minimum mount the speakers with baffles but since the typical factory location sucks for imaging the ones that showed the angled baffles might be an option for you. My brother in law and I built those for his 1994 Dodge Stealth and the sound stage and image are superb. As several others have stated, the installation is the most important aspect. The better the installation is the better the results are no matter what speakers you end up using. Also the clay he spoke of is non hardening modeling clay. It's used to add mass (weight) to the door panel around where the baffles mount to the door. Thanks man, I decided to pull out all the stops I could with them. I still have a lot of work to finish doing to them but they are up and playing and YES, the results are worth every drop of sweat, blood and every dime spent to get it done.

yea you can buy the same baffles which I was just calling a spacer (I'm from the south) and everything to properly mount from sonic and I'm sure a few other websites, they may have them here on ssa not sure. But I like how he built that enclosure into the door that's dedication there I wish I had time do projects like that, maybe someday. Right now kid and business keep me stressed and running.

I get that. I am using an external source (in the case of this last set, a flashlight) and just hitting it for a second to pick up little details, like the Sennhieser label on the headphones, or the KT88 label on the tubes in my earlier shots. But I tried to divert the flash effect by focusing it away from the tubes, but if you look you can see the wall in the reflection of the tube. I get that flash is difficult... or I guess I should say, something that needs to be mastered. If you look, there are very few pics that I use flash in. I understand how it can create a harshness or wash out a shot. At this stage, I do not understand how to tame it enough, and I would prefer not to use it. However, I thought in these shots I have a unique opportunity to experiment. But now I see I need to do more research.

I might end up sharing that opinion, though this is my first time rehauling my sound system so I figure I might try to do all the bells and whistles and see if it is worth it in my opinion which is half the fun of learning!

Your ignorance reeks of troll. Either it is intentional or you really need to actually try something for once before you comment. The bigger the baffle the better, the more mass the better, the more solid you can make your door the better. Give me a $100 budget for speakers and a $100 processor and a good install and it will DESTROY a $5,000 component set bolted in the stock mount. Seriously, like not even in the same ballpark. More than half your front stage budget should be in the install. Deadener, CCF, MLV, Baffle, Clay or other mass, and of course doing whatever you need to help the aiming so that it is appropriate for what drivers you bought.

You should be making a baffle for the mids anyway so that would bring it out so you should be fine with them

Yes you can make it work. .10 isn't hard to overcome I just did it recently myself. My JL C2 61/2's where just a little to big for the depth so I used a gasket to bring it out a little and it worked fine. As long as your just the least bit handy you can make that work.
