8-inch door speakers Options

[pepsiman]

I was thinking about putting some 8-inch subs in my doors but i just read that it will rattle the doors real bad...what can i do to prevent this? I have never opened up the guts of my door can u put plenty of sound deading in there? Will that stop the rattles? Also does the subs in the door have to be shallow mount to fit? What is a good 8 inch sub? pionneer has no 8's on their site but primeir does but they are alittle pricey for me i dont need anything crazy just wantin to add some bass but it dont have to be crazy

Ah, sneaky, we switched people. Didn't catch that the first go around.

You are realizing the difficulties of the task at hand. It would seem best to first determine exactly where and how you are going to mount the sub. Any solution, at minimum, should be sturdy (the less flex and vibration, the better), and needs to seperate the backwaves from the forwardwaves. Once that is done, then you can choose a sub that is designed to operate in the enviornment you've created, whether it be infinite baffle or .3 cubic feet of airspace, 10 watts of power or 500.

I completely forgot that I was threadjacking. I came in to offer a thought on the subject, then ask a question, then lost track of how the conversation started. Sorry! OK well lots of good info, I really am going to try and see how it works, and if it works, I'll tell you how, and if it doesn't, I'll tell you how far I went before I gave up.
