Will it affect my sound?
« on: Feb 6, 2008, 08:59PM »
Ok guys, i know that this will affect my speakers in some way, but i want to know how badly. Im redoing my door trims, and i have my expensive speakers to go into the car. I really dont want to have them on display, especially considering how easy our cars are to break into. My question is, will one sheet of vinyl really affect the mid-low tunes coming out of the 6.5" cone. The tweeter is going to be flush mounted, so its only the mids and lows that need to "surpass", if you shall call it, the vinyl. I dont think it really will. This way you cant really tell that my speakers are expensive, and lets me mount them solidly in the doors.

Will definatly sound muffled etc, especially at low volume. Best thing to do if you want to hide them is to use the stock grill on the doors.

Thats the trouble. I hate the whole map holder/grill combo, its all goin. I might try it at first, and see how bad it is. Then decide. Seems to be the only way.

I knew it would affect it, just wasnt sure how badly.

you'll be suprised just home much it will muffle the sound.

What grade vinyl is it?

If your basing the vinyl off the stock door why don't you leave the gap there and cover it with mesh of some sort?

i'd try something like a fine mesh instead of the vinyl, something like flyscreen

it still won't be perfect but will be better


why did you get such good speakers if your not gonna put them to their full potential, i'd look at a better way of securing them rather than hiding them

Vinyl will muffle the speakers, especially the heavy Spotlight stuff.

If you want to hide them make up custom grilles using some speaker grille cloth.
