question on door speakers

[w261w261]

A couple of years ago, I replaced the door speakers in my SE-i. The Bose speakers were proprietary, so I had to do some surgery on the mounts. I noticed that the enclosures were sealed in the back, which I ruined when I cut them to accept the Infinity's. Recently, a guy in a stereo shop said that the enclosures not being sealed in the back were messing up my sound. I can't tell, but I guess I wouldn't have heard anything better, as the original speakers were shot when I got the car. It would be a bit of a pain to rig up something to go behind the speakers, but I would do it if there would be a good improvement. Anyone have any experience with this? Thx.

yeah if you really are concerned with how it sounds, i say just add some dynomat behind the speaker on your door's sheet metal....good 50 buck investement. it will improve the sound and at loud volumes it wont rattle as much

i wish dynomat was cheap...my friend told me he would not put any into his new car....im glad i listen to him cuz i was going to install it on my dx back when i had it.

Some speakers will work better in a small enclosure... but most are designed to work in the factory door placement. You probably wouldnt notice much of a difference at all. But monkeys advice is good... A small piece of sound dampening material behind the speaker does actually make a difference and shouldnt cost more than like $30... Most companies sell these small sheets.
