Speakers in the doors

I've seen cars in the past that actually had molded plastic speaker box things for this very reason. Like a 5-1/4 speaker fits into in and it fits into a 6-1/2 hole. I've been trying to find em in the junk yard but haven't had any luck. I think I've seen em in a fiero maybe. Anybody know?

I'm curious to see what ideas you guys have for this. Personally I don't see it as a necessity to have something to protect them that way. I've had 6.5's and 6x9's in each door for years without any protection besides the weatherstripping for the windows themselves. I've never had an issue.

You can get the baffles at Pep Boys. They are not necessary. If you do use them, cut the bottom portion of the baffle away and leave the top as kind of a roof. The reason being is that most car audio speakers (not subwoofers) are designed to run infinte baffle... meaning free air. Most will suffer in the lower mid range bass response if you leave these baffles whole. It acts as a mini box and effextively chokes the speaker. If you are getting that much water in the doors, I would suggest getting marine speakers designed for boat applications and forgoing the baffles entirely.

Thanks. However, I bought the long rubber seal that surrounds the vent glass.
I have also viewed the U-Tube instructions more then once. The door seal was
replaced when I bought her last April.
After the speakers are installed, I will install the AM FM 8-track that has been rebuilt.
I have a pair of sub-woofers behind the seat. I will enjoy pipe organ, classical & the
big band sounds. I can record 8-tracks too. I have a huge collection of tapes.
When they fail, they get tossed. They're cheap.
