Thanks man! I did some research and bought within my budget but I think I landed on a good well rounded setup and most of all focused on clean power.

I will let you know how the Neo Pro's are just give me a bit to get it all installed currently my car is being fixed from a hit and run.

I chose the Neo Pro's because they are oriented toward delivering punchy mid bass in car doors specifically and will makeup for what most normal components especially when mounted in car doors lack.

I also forgot to add that I ordered a dcpower 250a alt //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Alright, sounds good!

Does anyone have any recommendation for applying the sound deadening? Will the 100mil be enough? Should I use mlv? I'd rather not.

Also do you apply to both the inner and outer door skins/panels? And so you cover up the holes or keep them open? And should 60sqft be enough for 4 doors and the trunk? Should I use filler in the trunk.

If your car is anything like my 2015 WRX, than it's a rattle machine. Focus on the rear deck the most. I did inner and outer door skins and also covered up any holes in the doors, I even threw some deadener/ensolite on the inner door panel itself.

Yeah they are rattle machines even with the pitiful stock speakers. I'll try and do my best like you did. What's the outcome like much more solid? Did t get rid of the rattling or does the plastic door panel cover rattle regardless?

Thanks!

I'm looking at doing a 4th order bandpass blow through the rear deck with a 6" aero port. Any opinions on this?

The doors I was able to just about completely turn rattle free. I put silicone on the rear view mirror to get rid of that rattle. The rear deck I deadened just about as much as I think I can for now considering I'm running 2000wrms on 2 ported 10's tuned to 32hz.
