Car/truck doors are about the absolute worst 'enclosure' that you can possibly have for a speaker system. Dynamat or equivalent can make a really significant difference in eliminating vibrations/rattles, and improve the overall quality of sound from the speakers.
it's all about the install

Its all about taking a horrific 'enclosure' environment, and making it as good as possible. Even with the best of efforts and add-ons, the car/truck door is still a lousy enclosure for a speaker.

I swapped out my blown stockers for clearance rack Kickers in the door. Re-used the foam surround and they’re quite decent for the stock system.
Hey @Squirrelsmith how many of those terrible white clips survived? I bought a 100 pack on the Bay for $5 when I was fighting door rattles and loose panels

What we have here is a build from an old school guy. Nobody under the age of 30 ever uses the word”stereo”. Looks like it be “cool” one the work is finished though.

As you were...
