they're right 'in ya face'.....and the quality from the rainbow speakers is wicked.i sealed them on the back so no sound fires into the doors.cos they're sealed, they're nice and punchy.took loads of blood, sweat and tears from the fibreglass resin.

i did use loctite spray glue,but it's since started to come away from the fibreglass,you could try a contact adhesive,as it's rubberized and shouldn't 'sweat' in the summer.

i was kinda governed by the depth of the speaker,as well as trying to 'tune' the door pods.smaller enclosures on the back doors and larger enclosures on the front. this was a first time try, and already have something else in mind to replace them with.

every one learns from their mistakes/errors , and for a frist time try they seemed to turn out alright , but 1 man cums to mind "ICE MAN" his door builds are Madness! and his latest ride he spent £34,000 on ICE and took him only 6 months to build! i will be posting video and pic's up from his van and you can see his door build around 10 6.5" comps in each door!
