05 Accord LX 6½" Co-Ax Install w/Poor Man's Dynamat
Just sharing -
I used the poor man's Dynamat ... Peel & Seal 6-in x 300-in Aluminum Flashing
Purchased Polk Audio 6½" Co-Ax for $30 - Must have been a closeout.
Just used the factory (crappy wiring) cuz I'm not going to change my factory stereo. It's just too expensive, and I don't like the aftermarket install kit;s appearance.
Check it -

nice.
next step is foam weatherstripping to recreate the factory seal to the door panel. that seal is crucial for midbass since the door panel is the front of the speaker enclosure (due to the large holes in the door).

I actually bought a set of MB Quart components (FBS216)
and moved the Polk Co-Ax to the rear deck ...
The Mid-bass included the component set are quite a bit larger than the Polk Co-Axs, so I had to get a larger diameter mounting ring.
The tweeter was a little bit of a "rig job" ...
I used my Dremel to make a hole enough for the tweeter face to be exposed.
Then I hot melt glued the tweeter into place (I wrapped the tweeter with some painter's tape first, then a layer of electrical tape to protect it from the glue)
Spray adhesive was used to glue a piece of fiberglass screen (like your screen door to your house) to protect the tweeter dome.
Then wrapped the entire sail or mirror triangle with some speaker grill cloth. (Looks like hell from behind HAHA! But The front looks AIGHT)
It's incredible how much digital photography exposes all the imperfections! This triangle looks A LOT better with a naked eye.
Sound Stage is slightly forward, but I plan to install a center channel. That should make the stage: Front and Center.

I didn't take a pic before I removed the vapor barrier, but Crutchfield has a pic ...

personally, i prefer using something rigid to close up the hole to increase rigidity of the door panel and reduce the "drum head" effect that limp mass can have. course, if you get lucky it acts like a passive radiator.
