Should I bother with making MDF door pods?
I used to work in car audio/alarms/electronics, and was a foreman of a few workshops (not a salesman), and I think that the stock speakers and mounts are pretty damn great for a stock factory system. I know I won't be changing mine unless there's a specific problem. That's the speakers though, the head unit I changed over the first day I got the car for a brand new one.
As far as the pods go, it all depends on wether or not you can mount the new speakers to the existing plastic pods solidly. If you can, just do that, you can always make pods later on if you really feel it needs them to be more securely/snugly mounted.
