June 8, 200916 yr Sounds like you got a great deal on the 8's + 3's + etc.......Re: the foam on the panel, are we talking door cards? I had some stock stuff but removed it then sound deadened and then added 2 or 3 times the thickness of open cell foam (as it won't get wet) to replace the stock. Trim certainly doesn't move now......... Looks like my 2.5inch Peerless are arriving in 2 weeks..... Better get building my pillars....Jono
June 9, 200916 yr Author ya the door cards had some of that stuff that looks kinda like what you would use under a carpet. (random color padding shit..) i dont think it does anything so ill keep it off. maybe ill add some additional barrier later, im looking in to mass loaded vinyl w/ a decoupler... im broke for awhile so i guess i have plenty of time to research hahagood luck with your build jono
June 9, 200916 yr Depending on the padding it may be a well placed absorber.Yeah, I was going to say it may function well as a noise absorber so you may want to put it back on. As for your sound deadener, along with flat panels that may resonate I think you also want to cover any holes in the door panel with it (just not the ones on the bottom of the door that allow water to drain out. That way the speaker can use the whole inside of the door as a sort of enclosure, IB style. It usually helps the midbass quite a bit.

IMO most of the pictures posted don't do it justice. It's an awesome looking speaker. And for the money it is an awesome performer.
