[QUOTE="ThxOne, post: 8811896, member: 675210"] There may be nothing wrong with the mid-bass output of those speakers. Some of the best mid-bass I have heard came from a pair of old 5.25" Kevlar Focal's. I don't know how they were installed before or in what however my suggestion would be get your doors deadened very well, mount those Focal's tight to the mounting surface, seal all gaps and holes on the doors then couple the drivers to the door panels with a fast ring type of thing. Make sure they are IN PHASE. If they still don't do it for you, at least your doors will be ready for whatever you put in there. I think they will do it for you if the doors are prepared correctly. Edit... I just realized that Focal is European. 100 is mm so 4" here. Yeah, 4" aren't know for a lot of volume on mid-bass frequencies. They do make a 165mm but those are $800+. I'd still deaden the doors. [/QUOTE]
