No responses in install section...
I am installing 6.5 inch mids/midbass in my doors and would like to angle them so that, as much as possible, they are pointing towards the domelight.
What is the easiest/best way to do this?
Thanks to all.

I have no experience doing this, but I have thought about attempting it.
This is what I had in mind, start with a baffle that is flat with the door and cut out the center, as if you were going to use it for a speaker. Then make your angeled baffle board, position it how you want, then use some small wood dowels and glue them in place to the baffle that is flat with the door. The dowels will support the angeled baffle, and then you could fiberglass it. But it would be more of a baffle then an enclosure because you cut the hole out for the speaker on the flat baffle, allowing for airflow into the door cavity....does that make any sense?
Like I said, ive never done it...but thats what I thought of.

What about gluing a couple of MDF rings together, and then sanding them down on one side, to get your angle?
