Well the second parts right. Using a door as an enclosure for the midbass is exactly what you don't want to do....... Build an enclosure for it into the door, MDF, fiberglass, anything strong and make sure it's sealed. Difference in madbass output will be amazing.
And 7" mid yikes..... thats gonna need a fairly big enclosure.
hmm you got a point, guess ill see what i can do about building some sort of fiberglass enclousre in the the actual door i got put in modified class so i can do all the modifying i want!!!!
Then with enough time and money anythings possible. It will come down to how much work you want to put into it....... if you're gonna do SQ comp take your time and build a really good installation.
With mids, almost any enclosure is better than free air. Example:
Right now I have mids that specify a bit over 0.1 cu.ft. and I have them in about half that space, as that's all I could do. Midbass output is pretty decent for 5.25" speakers. They pretty much can't do below 200 hz well, but that is true of most speakers that size.
I'm sure they would be slightly better in a bit more airspace, but I don't think it would be a huge difference.
So what I'm getting at is, design the biggest enclosure you can and run with that. It probably won't be half bad.
well i got all the sound deading covered already about 80 square foot per door, the far inside sheet metal, then inner part(where all the holes are on the door) and then the actual door panel all has plenty of deadner, the wires? what do you mean, and as far as the HU im uhh still working on that lol, im big big biggg into SPL and doing pretty good, but then for MECA i started competing for the best of best of show so now i gotta work on my SQ crap
"well i got all the sound deading covered already about 80 square foot per door, the far inside sheet metal, then inner part(where all the holes are on the door) and then the actual door panel all has plenty of deadner, the wires?"
So you did 8-10 layers of dampener per door? Must have some pretty big doors... I think i used 80-90sqft on all 4 of my doors.
Anyways, congrats on the speakers and put them in door or kick pods.
