What is your budget?

Do you have a picture of your door so we can see what it looks like so we can better guide you as to what you can make to go on it? Or what year S15 do you drive?

In the old days before fiberglass we made door panels out of just mdf that we screwed / bolted on to the door panel and recessed a speaker into them, but they were heavy as heck. Doing glass isn't too hard, you just have to take your time and get the right materials to make it come out nice, plus it's a lot less weight on the door. If you want to get a lot of good information about glassing, I would go to fiberglassforums.com and check out some of the builds on there. Those guys know their stuff when it comes to fabrication and I'm sure someone can steer you in the right direction. I know the basics of glass, but I'm still in AWE of what some of those guys can do.

The best advice I can give to you on components is go LISTEN to everything you can. Make your decision on what sounds best to YOUR ears. There are a lot of good speaker companies out there, I know which one I would use, but that's me. At the end of the day, what sounds best to YOU is what you should get. Good luck with your search for a component set, and be sure to post pics when you get them in.
