I searched and found almost nothing about this on here.
I did this about 7 or so years ago.
It's a 6.5" Sony A$$plode where the original speaker was. It sounded way better than the blown factory speaker that was there. That said, it still has that "Hollow Mid-base Boomy-ness" that these speakers where known for from the factory.
I think this may be caused by the plastic enclosure being so thin that it resonates with the speaker. That or there is some type of low pas filter in the factory harness. I was thinking of pulling them back apart and sound deadening them from the inside to see if it helps with the "Midbase Boom"
So....
1. Has anyone else replaced the factory speaker in these boxes with an aftermarket unit?
2. Did it still have that "Hollow, Mid-base Boom"
3. Did you do anything to get rid of it, like sound deadening the enclosure or rewiring them to eliminate a low pas filter hiding in the harness?
Thanks for any help
