It's on a MDF baffle that's painted black. You can actually see it in the pic. and it looks air tight with the metal hseet.

Oh. and the whole unit (baffle and speaker) still rattles quite easily? Non-hardening clay might help reduce the transmission of vibes, but I haven't tried it yet so I don't have any first hand experience.

^ Have you try crossing over the front at about 80-90hz 24db/octave? and the same with the subs. in some systems, the midbass will come alive.

also have you try reversing the polarity of the sub to see if the midbass improves?

agreed !

wow, 5 hours eh?

They originally quoted me 3 hours of installation with a 165kp purchase, but when I went for the appointment they told me they need 4-5 hours and asked me to leave the car whole day so they reschedule the appointment to next day. After the work is done they tried to tell me it's a lot of work and charged me 5 hours on the bill. I guess they are trying to make up the profit from the install since I bought the gear somewhere else.

why did you not trry to do it yourself ,,,,,thay saw you comeing
what did that do in 5hrs have lunch ,coffey,.........did thay rewire the car

yeah, i could see maybe upgrading the wires (through molex plug in doors) or finding a place to mount the x-over could be a bit of effort in some cars, and optimizing the dispersion window with the tweeter's phase diffusor could be time consuming. and tuning the midbass driver..... otherwise it should be a straight forward install (3hrs typically).

They run new wires from amp to the x'ver under the dash, and put the tweet under the windshild on the stock location. XO were put inside the fuse compartment. They also install new baffle for the mid because the old baffle is not thick enough. Today I remove the mid driver and see how is it installed if it's air tight and yes there's a rubber thing in between and they glue the baffle and the metal sheet. Quality work.

So far I did the dynamat for the front doors and will try to diy other things, one step at a time.
