Is this a 911 or your Miata?

I have a kenwood head and two-piece Quarts in my doors in my 1972.

IMO YES you will experience a little better low-low mids if you put a baffle behind the speaker. Don't put any batting 'inside' the baffle. Don't put any in the door either, you're just sort of spinning your wheels.

For a speaker to work 'best', it needs a sealed chamber behind it, or a chamber that has a port (like you see so often) that is tuned to accentuate the deficiencies of the speaker and round out the sound. (super-over simplifying.)

If you can create a seal behind the speaker, that's great. At that point you will need more power.

If it's a '83 or older 911 you could put a sub under the drivers seat. I put one of those Kenwood powered subs under my driver's seat in my SC and it's not amazing but it adds a little thump and is fun.

If it's '84 911 and up and you don't have anything under the pass seat (?) and you have manual seats you could toss the little Kenwood sub under there.

If it's the Miata check if you have clearance under the seat and you could just put a little butt-thumper thing (like the Kenwood) under there and see if it's enough for you.



I find every stereo mod I've done to my 911s to be fun, but pointless in the end.
