My 8s can breathe now!! (pics)

Just wanted to let my midbasses breathe cause I was getting too much rattling from the grills/plastic of the door panels. So here's how I modified the panels (using nothing but a knife and a small pair of heavy-duty sissors). Though not cosmetically perfect, performance has greatly improved, as now even with super high volume, I hear nothing but music! I really recommend this

Why not make the door panel rattle proof?

We were all simply being truthful and honest. Now you are the one talking **** back. Come down to FL and I'll be glad to tell you in person that you murdered your door panels by doing that.

Seriously, what did you expect by posting this? Different responses? Post this on ANY car forum you want, I'll put $20 that NOBODY will disagree with what has been posted here.

You should have asked what to do rather than destroy your doors. You really should have just drilled holes into the oem grill instead of cutting it out, you could have even done/could still do some custom work to the panel to fit the dls grills on their, but you now have totally unprotected midbass's because you like to "see" them working and so they can "breathe."

You could have at least asked if there were better options.

My 'meds' part was a joke, the rest was not. So let me get this straight ...you post on an open and public forum and get others OPINIONS and you resort to racism and name calling? Are YOU fuking kidding me?

Gladly. You know precisely where I am. Please make an appointment anytime.

It was truthful and honest. To your liking? Obviously not. But again to understand ...if we all actually DID lie and say that we loved it we would all be best friends right? I'll keep that in mind.

HOWEVER you wont be here for that party, because

A: I (as most others) wont simply lie to please you.

B: Your racist comments and outright name calling will Not be tolerated. Make your peace or have a nice live without the Org. Yes I am wondering why I am even giving you the opportunity after this **** ..

In which case, again ...you know exactly where I am. Take the task on yourself.

I do recall BOTH of us telling him it was unneeded to have just the holes there and made no credible difference. Did he listen? No, he made the entire thing alot worse for no gain. In which case did he only not listen to suggestions, but slapped us in the face with a "*** your ideas, Im going bigger and Ill post for the whole world". So umm victor, who took the first stab here? In case your stumped ...it was you.

That is true, and on top of that replacing those panels is QUITE expensive.

I think I'll just take off the door panel and make the mids match the shiny deadener on the door.
