My Speaker upgrades...+ Dynamat
Had enough if the rattling from the front doors, having spent too much money on making my car go faster though i should invest and make time for some sounds
Invested in a pair of Boston FS60 components...Will be run from the Apline head unit untill i buy an Amp!
...So here goes:
Dynamatted the front doors using Dynamat Xtreeme…used a roller to apply very easy…Picture with the original Infinity Speakers:

Decided not to buy the adapter for the mounting of the speaker instead made one using mdf…surprisingly I got it right the 1st time around. Searched high and low to find a cumpos to draw the circle....

The cross over was wrapped in plastic to avoid water going into it, then a piece of cloth to stop it rattling and then cabled tired over. This was then put behind the speaker and I used silver take to stick it down..

Closed the window to make sure it clears the cross over…which it did

Speaker fits perfectly, and is screwed in…

Still to come:
Tweeter Install: Will be cutting the small grill in the door card (MY98) and popping them out from there...
(on hold as i have burnt my finger, trying to figure out if the cigarette lighter was working or not) Can't feel any of my fingers...

Good stuff
Don't cut a hole in the door card for the tweeter yet, have a play to find the best position. Long leads and blutak are your friends . I found that mounting tweeters on the triangle behind the mirror worked...

I washed my car once with the passenger side door card off and there were splashes of water down the plastic sheet when I'd finished, so I've left mine on.
There's advice on NASIOC to use soft foam sponge on the doorcard to stop the plastic flapping. I think they used 1" stuff.
