Questions about door speakers
Hey guys, I am looking to do a bit of a system in my car over winter and am looking for some advice on speakers. I want to run a small amp to power the front speakers, and probably a single 10" sub in a sealed box. Anyway I am thinking of going to 5-1/4"s since I think I am only going to run some front components. I have seen some adapters for sale, but I have also seen people say they don't work/are junk, etc. I am looking for some pictures of what you guys have done, and any suggestions you guys may have. Thanks in advance

I am just concerned with how much of the speaker will be blocked by the door panel if I go 6.5" I don't really want to get too nutty with redoing the door panels.

There is a definite acoustic advantage to having your door speakers in an enclosure. I'd remove the port, seal off that opening and stick with 5¼'s if they'll fit in the factory pods. They'll be better isolated from moisture, too.

They make foam enclosures that look like a cupcake wrapper. They protect the speaker from inner door moisture and sound quite good in my experience. I thought about going that route on the SC, but the shape of our cutouts makes that a bit more work, likely requiring an adapter plate that may stick out too much in places. Re-using the stock enclosure is definitely easiest.
