The stock speakers on my 97 GXE had broken surrounds, and in the process of replacing them I started doing some research and found out about sound dampening.
As I have been researching dampening, it seems sealing the door is highly advisable. I now have a set of Polk coaxials (DXi651) in the front, and nothing in the back and don't have plans to add rear speakers. So good lows in the front should matter.
I have yet to find a photo of a sealed 4th gen front door; it seems to me to be way more complicated than many other cars. Has anyone here done it? Or did you decide it's more trouble than it's worth?
Thanks.

If you're an audiophile, go for it.
But since you're debating it, you probably aren't.

Just skip it IMO.

It will be worthwhile to properly treat your doors. I always told my friends to put some of their budgeted money for their speakers, towards properly treating their doors. It will make a substantial improvement in how they sound.

Thanks for the replies!
I didn't seal them, but I added some thin foam to the door covers. I don't have an amp anyway.
