MGlass Unregistered guest | Hello, Ive got an 88 firebird and what to step up my speaks, however Im not to sure about how to install speaks in the front door. I know they dont come w/speaks and i took the panel off recently to for check 4 room. Mainly I want to know If i am going to need to cut thru the panel and expose the speaker to get appropriate SQ or just install them directly behind the door panel so that they are unseen, |

MGlass Unregistered guest | basicaly im asking is it possible to leave the door as it looks and have the speaker sorta next to the window crank, within the panel? Id prefer not to go w/kicks, any help is appreciated |

MGlass Unregistered guest | But would it sound alright if I just put them behind the door panel, or would I need to cut the door panel so it isnt blocking sound? |
