AI James Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 never had to worry about it in my doors but its not IN the door its just behind the panel. I usually have so damn much deadening on stuff its pretty impossible for water to get through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted ink Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 thats why man.. water sometimes collects there, and the door has small drain holes at the bottom to let it out, but water is definitely going to find its way there.. you moved them, thats all that matters Quote Wasted, Incorporated Up Front: Optima Yellowtop HU:Pioneer Avic N1 w/ 2007 upgrade Front Stage: MB Quart 6.5 comps Rear Fill: Infinity Reference Sub Stage: RE MT 18 Sub Amp: Undecided Sub Enclosure: 5.5 cubes tuned to 33hz Absolute Terminals SkyTec 5100RS 2-Way LCD Pager KnuKonceptz Wire My Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raytard Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 yea, hes talking about just throwing them INSIDE the door, bad idea, water flows through there in rain storms, Ive seen many cars with "blown" speakers that have crossovers rusted/corroded/in a ziploc bag full of rusty water/electrical taped mummy looking cacoon full of water/etc. Apparantly a bunch of these were from bestbuy/circuit city. I mounted mine behind the panel screwed to the metal of the door itself, no problems yet. Definately consider where water goes when you're installing your crossovers, or any audio for that matter Quote Build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...hl=avalon+build monster/rockford/kicker/stinger cables, pioneer source, jbl highs/amps, kinetik/shuriken batts, iraggi alt, dei security, dc subs(atleast for now) Team DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forevrbumpn Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 behind the door panels, or in the kick panels are the best sports Quote I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.
