enclosing a speaker
#11
the wite part is where you want the hole cut and place it at the bottom of the speaker to shield it form water falling into the speaker basket. The hole is more than large enough to allow rear speaker coupling to the air inside the door...which is needed for proper sound particularly for door speakers which are designed for infinite baffle application.

make sure there a stamped steel basket and then weld in some sheet metal to fill the holes. foil, plastic and etc will all crack and fall off and sound terrible. if you want to do it right, weld in the sheet metal, speaker will be 100% waterproof, sound amazing and be more accurate.
good luck, ive done it, works great!

i played around with those foam enclosures just out of curiosity a while back. i wouldn't use them for a second, especially on $600 speakers lol.
sure they may protect them, but your midbass is dropping off the charts and it really skews the speakers sound. annnnd you are basically negating your expensive speakers. may as well put in cheapies and not care if they get hurt:P

all you need are the speaker cups, cut the bottom portion off to form a shield against water droplets...like in my photo (do a better job than my photo depicts though). Very simple, effective and you don't have to weld your speakers (that's not a good idea for so many reasons).
