There’s something oddly therapeutic about car audio installation, especially the sound treatment portion. In my mind it’s a case of a time-consuming, laborious task, having a direct improvement on the pleasantness of driving your vehicle and listening to music

I called Crutchfield to purchase additional speakers for my Acura MDX. When I called they knew exactly who I was had no idea how they did that. I guess they knew the phone number and the gentleman said hello William period he went to their diagrams knew exactly what speaker locations I was Considering and recommended the best speaker that would actually fit not all do. It was the upper rear speakers. And all my dealings over the phone I have never met two gentlemen who knew exactly what they were doing and listened. Whatever Crutchfield is doing they are doing it right.

For anyone who doesn't want to wait several days ordering gasket and perfect cut to size foam circles online, I suggest going to an arts and crafts store like Hobby Lobby or Michaels, etc. as they will have both the flatter mat type stuff to put behind the bracket against the door as well as the thicker, vibration damping foam to put between the speaker and the bracket. Just make a cut out of what you need and it will work just as well.

tip: if there's a lot of screws from any thing, I use a flat piece of cardboard, cut it out to the shape of the project, (or write top if you need to, or some key mark) and simply push the screws into the cardboard in the same spot. The screws stay in place and sometimes can be reused for the opposite side easily.

Dealers seem to be the worst. Took my '89 ranger on for a tuneup . Checked the air filter just before so I'd know if it really needed changing. It did. When I got it back , I checked again and they had changed the filter as expected. But they BROKE the plastic box where one of the corner mounts!!! I complained and they said "it was like that when you brought it in". I said it wasn't and just left aggravated with a broken air box, realizing it wasn't worth the time over a $40 plastic box. But I never let anyone else Change my air filter after that. I tell them don't even check it!

This is a good video for guidance on improving your vehicle’s sound system. All information given can that annoying parts vibration that can be heard. There are some tips that I have picked up over the years to add if I may. At 2:48 be prepared to have some clips breaking off during panel removal, especially on older vehicles or in cooler temperatures. It's a good idea to pre-order these door panel mounting clips and have them on hand when you replace your speakers. At 6:14 if you did not pick up or have access to speaker gasket tape, you can go to most any grocery, hardware or home improvement store and pick up a roll of foam weatherstrip. I also like to use a good duct tape like Gorilla tape to tape down any loose wiring or door cables, this will further reduce the annoying vibration that is heard on some installs Mark, as always you have a great video with some very useful tips and tricks. Thanks again!

Only enough time to mount the speaker, clean up the wiring and put the door panel on, no foam no or anything unless it’s a real simple speaker install, or I’m just too slow either way This is a beautiful install and I’m sure the customer really appreciates the effort and attention to detail.

Beautiful work! This attention to detail is what separates any other joe from a real master. In addition, you dont only let us know how to do it. you backup every choice with experience. That is the detail im talking about. Its work like this that actually sets the market price. Unfortunately there are less experienced MF's that charge the same price while being completely unqualified because all they understand is that you plug white wire with white wire. You have my respect and my subscription. Thank you. Its one thing to hook up speakers to a wire and another to actually give a damn about the car, the loose wire vibrations, the open screw holes in non-custom adapters. Thats not above and beyond, its just that some people settle for less. Thats business! Its a shame they want to charge just as much tho. A MF thats clueless will charge you for 4+ hours of labor at $150+/hr while a Master will charge you for 1.5 hr of labor @ $180. Clueless - $600+ Master - $360 Ive been there. It has happened to me. Thats why my hispanic Raza has a saying. "Comprar barato sale Caro" or Cheap ends up costing more in the end. My issue is that you dont know what cheap is sometimes, at least not until you see a video like this with beautiful work.

I’ve had my speaker wires corrode in side were you crimp the terminals on and cause problems with sound . Upon checking my ohms reading it was off bad . From that day on I always put die electrical grease on my wires after heat shrinking them also were they slide on ! Inside the door with window up when it rains water does leak around the window . Not a bunch but the holes on the bottom of the door are there to let that water out . I always make sure they are not stoped up and when sound deadening I make sure not to cover them or cause them not to be able to drain ! The small amount of water that does go through the door will cause dampness causing corrosion . The silicon die electrical grease don’t cost but 5$ . It’s worth it I had to change a complete wire from amp through door post in to door an yeah . Running higher watts than factory the wires had to be bigger . Everything looks lovely mark you do one heck of a good job . I’ve added the aluminum backed sound deader to those adapters just around the outside to stiffing them up . Great job man this a great vid for those who don’t make all there parts like you said . I’ve robbed those adapters out of junk cars and modified them with fiberglass mat before we could get the great things like we can now . After 20 some odd years it’s nice not to have to build or modify every step of the way . Thanks for the info on what the crutchfield has to offer on the info about removing the things to install after market goodies ! That’s was the hi light man that will come in very handy . Again thanks mark you do a great job with your work and explaining everything so well !

the smaller things count! I had one of my "rental car" installs compared to a $3k audio install done, and my "rental car" install blew the other one away. What I mean by a rental install, the car was a lease-car, was only ever going to be mine for about 8 - 12 months, then goes back. So I removed the door cars, OEM speakers and added small foam rings, added a section of accoustic foam absorber behind the speakers, re-fit the OEM speakers, and brackets which where now tight, and insulated air-pressure wise. I ran a power cable from battery to boot, added a subwoofer with 2 channel bridgable amp onto custom subwoofer box, Kicker Comp sub, and used velcro tape on the bottom of the sub box to stop movement. Used L.O.C units to "borrow" the rear speaker channels to use into the amplifier by using factory speaker connectors to tap into the stock speaker connectors, then to the LOC, and into the amp. At any time if I was told the car was being returned, it was a 15 minute job to return the car as close to factory original as it needed to be to pass inspection. The other install was later speakers bolted straight onto the door metal which was cut to size. The headunit was aftermarket, and was run from small wire direct from the battery. the amplifier was bolted to the back seat metal panel, and 8-guage from the battery to boot was run through the door jam into the side rails, up to the boot and into the amp. Grounding was 8 guage down under the back seat, twisted wire onto a loosened seatbelt bolt that was re-tightened. The result was way better than stock, but then also had engine whine as the volume was increased, everything rattled, and the subwoofer sound was mushy (dont have details about the sub and box, it was a slapped together home made job). When we compared the 2 systems, the rental system was clear and was heard 4 houses away at a level you could make out the song, hear the words from the singer, and the plates in the cupboard rattled from bass. The other system was only good for 2 houses away shaking some plates, but couldnt make out the song, couldnt even tell if it was a male or female vocalist... I spent $120 on my system, plus probably $30 on ancilliary parts like insulating speakers, tape for the looms, etc. The other system was over $3k and the wires all got cable tired, and bounched up under the back seat. The difference between an installation is what makes the gear either work REALY WELL, or struggle to work as designed!

A bit late but yeah, acoustically it can be helpful however you need to remember that the window needs to come down into that space so make sure there's clearance AND that water also enters a door cavity so anything placed in there needs to not soak up too much of it lest you get mould. Dynamat won't absorb the water and arguably closed cell foam would resist it as well. A softer open cell foam will soak up the water like a sponge and have a hard time drying out.

5:13 for some unknown reason, since the 1970s and earlier, the screws and “tinnerman nuts” supplied with speakers are horrible. The only exceptions I have seen are a/d/s and Boston Acoustics in the 1980s.

What's that white "Speaker Gasketing Tape" he's using? I used something similar to that a few months ago on some rear door speakers. I got the stuff from Home Depot. It's a White Vinyl Foam made by Frost King and intended as a weather seal. Looks super close to what he's using.

Also looked for it. Nothing that thick available marketed for audio. It's all 2mm/3mm etc. What he's using is 10mm or even thicker to soak up the contour. If you get a link, share it if you don't mind

Any tips on how I can figure out how much speaker clearance I have behind my door panels. I have a 2001 sunfire and want to put in some larger door speakers. I know how to figure out the clearance behind the speaker. The original speakers (4x6) don't have any foam on the front so I am assuming they don't touch the back of the door panel

I always remove that thin plastick moisture film on the doorpannel and use something thicker...that's thin plastick film is the first thing that will flatter and blabber once you volume up the base....een on a bugdet built thats the 1st hole to seal a bit better....

Can you post where to get these materials for making the speaker gaskets etc? Also what product would you recommend to reattach a vapor barrier back to the door metal? I bought a used car and someone was doing stuff inside there before I owned it and I need to secure that vapor barrier better.

@ItsMrAnthony-8a Жыл бұрын
You can use weather strip to form gaskets around the speaker openings. I used 3M automotive glue to reattach my failing vapor barrier seal. It's very strong so use it sparingly! I used tape on the contact until it dried.

Question for you! How about sound deadening the door panel itself? Seems like nowadays there are a lot of seams and joints and separate pieces to the plastic molded door panels. Which means rattles! Have you ever treated a door panel or just the actual door metal framing? Thanks' I'm about to upgrade my Tremor.. the factory B&O is an absolute POS!

Lots of good tips I'd never though about. Props. I have already ordered some speaker baffles , so I'll probably just move forward with those instead of lining the inside of the door. I'm assuming the effect is similar.

Is the gasket between the speaker and the mouting going to create loss ? From movement dampening ? Maybe I'm pushing a little bit, it may be negligeable in a day to day build.
