+ and - should be ok, otherwise there would be no sound right ?????

The speaker wire I branched off from seems very thin, I am guessing I should start branching off some where else NOT at the door.

got them working yet?

service hole as in where the speaker sit ? What is mdf ?A tutorial would be nice

heres a pic of service holes:



in the pic you posted before, that black/grey stuff looks like a type of sound barrier to block road noise. behind that would be the inner steel door frame, same as you can see in the pic i posted. anyway, that grey thing in your door would do much the same thing (as long as theres no big holes in it). have a look through here if you want: http://www.raamaudio.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi?p=ht&_scb=2

Hey thanks for the tip. I would not have imagine there are so much work involved, its a complete different ball game. The tutorial is cool, potential DIY project in the holidays, the though of a thud when closing would sound nice as well as enhancing the audio.

Yeah I have got them working now, chicken out and couldn't wait until after exams. I got someone to do it for me at the end, only to realise I was on the right track, just got simple wiring mixed up, could have saved myself 60 buck for a 2 hr job. Anyways I will have some pics for you all tonight, loving the new speakers.

PS. Thank you all for your tips and advices.

well took a few pics of my speakers, actually nothing too interesting. I relocated the tweeter to a higher position to the door. I had them on the map area initially , it didn't sound right ( kick panel was my inspiration is doing so, wonder why people do it) All I need to do now is to find a way to hide those holes

Location and direction of tweeters make the biggest difference in speakers I reckon, so now they held with 1 screw on the door, so I can wing them around for a different effect.

So Louis, after a few months, how do you find the speakers? I myself am looking at speaker upgrades, even though the stockies CRANK when they're amped..(omg! difference!) Are the Bostons worth buying? I'm also looking at Kicker and Pioneer splits and they seem good to, just to make my decision harder.

Don't bother with the pioneers. They are harsh and horrible. Kicker is better, but if you can stretch, go the Bostons. You will be amazed. Think the stockies are good amped? Try a set of bostons!

Hahaha...and yet the Pioneer's were more expensive than the Kickers, and even I thought the Kickers sounded better, more crisp. Are Boston Acoustic easy to find, and how much more expensive are they?

i had mb quartz.. cheaper then boston but sounded better then kicker n pioneer
