    Default Front Door Speakers

    I've got a commodore VZ Executive with a custom Stereo Installed in it.

    PIONEER TS D161R in the Back
    PIONEER TS-C160R in the front
    PIONEER TS-D691R For the parcel shelf when i get em...
    A JBL sub I forget its specs...
    and a pair of amps...

    Now everythings working fine, the biggest issue i have is the front doors dont seem to be able to handle the grunt of the front speakers, They rattle and shake and it quite frankly screws the quality.

    any idea's?

    I havent Had a problem with the sound quality at all, its actually been rather good.

    What should the amp be set to for the front ones?

    it was origionally set to HPF and the problem has only started since switching that back to full. should it just be left on HPF?

    Buy some Dynamat, Best sound deadener there is. Give Marty at FHRX studios a call, He will give you a good price and will deliver Aus wide.

    Or google raammat and contact them for a roll of their raammat bxt. Its not a rip off price like dynamat and its just as good. Or if you wanna spend alot, get damplifier pro from Second Skin Audio which is a higher quality and better alternative to dynamat extreme.

    Had another double check of the amp and it was set to +12 Bass it was overworking the speakers and basically doofing the door to death, i've switched it back to normal and it works fine now, i'm going to look into the deadener though, does it block out road noise? thats what the descriptions of it seem to say...

    set your hpf on your speaker amp to around 120hz or so, it should clean it up a lot
