Default Frt Door speaker test

EZ to verify how bad the front door speakers are (or aren't).
Spend 7 min, removing one door panel per PT DIY instructions , leaving speaker connected yet.
Sit in middle of car, with ignition on, and radio (or tape/CD of your choice) playing.
Move full balance to the door that has the panel in place and give a lissen.
Now move full balance to door with NO PANEL ON and likewise lissen.
There is no comparison. Between 1 the speaker low and firing at your ankles 2 the deadening effect of the heavy panel plastic
and 3 the small hole for sound to come from the speaker, and you have one bottleneck for sound.

Solution is not to spend big bucks on speakers that are still mislocated, but to buy a pair of like 6 x 8 grilles and cut out an opening in door panel so they can work!!!!!

Now U can afford some other mod..................................
