They are 2-3/4" . . . So mounting right in to the door card itself is not an option? I would like to be able to use the air space of the doors, instead of using the spall air space i would be allowed with map pocket enclosures. I have no issue fiberlassing. I also would think that a map pocket located enclosure would have poor imaging being so low. And i have been concluded that these hd-series woofers are a bit picky with imaging...89 325i parts car

In the door panel, NOT in the pocket, but the lowest apex of the mounting diameter of the speaker below the line of the pocket.
Sorry if that was unclear.
Take your door apart. You have to do some metal cutting, but it ain't that bad.

Height: 15"
Width: 36"
Top depth: 5 7/8"
Bottom depth: 12"
All of the above is from memory, which is spotty at best.
I will be building more boxes like next month or maybe January, don't know yet.

Running the wire through the boot is easy, just use a coathanger (or other wire) and electrical tape, or a set of "Grabbers", which are a 3 foot long set of flexible 4 jaw wire grabbers.
I HIGHLY recommend you start in the door jam when running wires like this.
GL!

Is it worth it (or do-able) to install the BMW Premium speakers in the lower door cards in this way? They are certainly smaller than 6.5" so they might fit easier, yes?'74 2002 - Build blog at
