i posted after at the same time he did but his was better ^^^^

 

this is perfect thanks!

i just went down to try and do the rear panels, figured they would be the easy. ran into something i wasn't sure of.. in the upper right hand corner of the window (door open) it looks like there is a bracket with a 1/4" nut and its bolted down. i cant tell if the bracket is attached to the door panel or not. it looks like it is.

on the front doors i want to add some dynamat to it. or is that really worth it on the front speakers. thought it couldn't hurt.

hell if there is anyone in the austin area that has done this before and wouldnt mind lending a hand lemme know. i just dont want to pay $60 bucks per set for something that is honestly not all that difficult.
