I have 4 door speakers rated at 125 watts RMS and are 8 ohm. I bought a 4 channel amp that was supposed to be 150watt RMS per channel but actually are around 80 watt rms at 4 ohms. If I parallel the speakers to 4 ohms and bridged the 4 channel amp to 2 channels then how many watts am I going to get each speaker? Am I better off just running 1 speaker per channel?
A lot of youtube channels dont really answer questions that people have. Luckily there's a lot of information to all sorts of specific questions. You just have to be persistent in finding them.
thornygravy It's more a matter of him perfecting his trade.The guy is a master craftsmen with years of experience.He has all of the proper tools,know how and materials.Plus add in the fact that he does this for a living,day in and day out.
Jette Christensen Oh I have no doubt you can,anybody can(maybe not anybody).I really just enjoy watching his videos for entertainment purposes.I would never take my installs to these levels nor would I spend the money on the needed equipment. An average Joe like me who enjoys car audio on the side can build a great system from the ground up with a 3rd of the tools Mark uses.It won't be nearly as pretty but it can sound just as good.
You truly love what you do, and your work speaks it. I wish more installers would take the time to learn not just installation, but the acoustics behind the installation as you do. You have set the bar even higher! This is amazing work! Thank you for showing us would can be done!
again another quality video ..I'm in the process of upgrading my mid and hi range speakers .. instead of bugging my installer buddies I just watch your tutorials. . a1 advice and I thank you for making my car audio installations the best they can be
Crutchfield and Amazon both sell the Roadkill FAST foam baffle rings from Stinger that will act as a foam enclosure to direct your speaker sound outward. They're $25 a pair unless on sale. It's not the full mod effort CAF shows here but it'll help focus sound forward. I'd also suggest adding some sound deadening material behind the woofer cone somewhere. You may not care about road noise but it'll help quite a bit to dampen sound LEAVING your car, redirecting it toward the rider(s) and helping reduce the exterior noise so people outside aren't overly disturbed by your audio. If you have limited supply of dampening material, apply the most BEHIND the speaker so that you're at least dampening and redirecting sound where the source is. It'll be best to apply throughout each door your speaker is mounted but localizing it is always the most effective application when working without an excess of materials. Thanks to CAF for all these tutorials. Learning plenty on the manufacturing side of the car audio process that I didn't know would make such a big difference.
I just made some adapters out of mdf for my rear door speakers. Was feeling nice, about to seal up and mount the door panel for the last time, then I saw this vid... dam!! I am going to redo everything....
You're living the dream. I've always had a goal of creating a car stereo that rivals a home stereo in clarity and imaging. It looks like you've got the techniques to achieve such a reality. Nice.
You are welcome! Thanks for watching! This is a perfect example of how installing something correctly and taking the time for a few extra steps can really pay off.
I did something similar except for the fact that my stock pioneer speakers were Integrated with the bracket aka basket. So I cut off the speaker off the bracketwith a dremel ,RIP pioneer speaker, Used the stock foam cushion, and mated the new kicker speaker to the factory basket and connectors . The new speaker looks and sounds great . This video gave a thee idea 💡! Thanks
Nice addition with the foam. We would always space the speaker until it was as close to the panel without touching as possible so you wouldn't get any refraction from being recessed so much though the foam should absorb any soundwaves as opposed to reflecting them. Good work.
Great video CAF. This will certainly make the sound quality from the RE Audio component speakers even better, when I install them into my vehicle. Robert Coffey you made an excellent point about the screws. Without your imput I would have used the standard screws which could have been bad news for the speakers, so thank you.
+Sean B Thanks Sean! If you would like to help support the making of the videos check out my Patreon site: www.patreon.com/caraudiofabrication If you can't afford it no big deal just thought I would ask! Thanks for watching.
from watching this video (excellent content btw) I've used the foam rings in my door speakers and they make a great job of cleaning up any remaining distortion or vibration transfered into the door card, sound deadening and foam rings are an absolute must for quality sound before anything else.
It is so true, not that you need my approval of course. One thing I've done that I do with Hi-Fi speaker builds is using speaker mounting tape aka speaker culke. Along with sound treating the surfaces it makes a difference(If clearance is an issue then this could help too for £3-4 at loudspeakerfreaks) Great video as always :)
Installed these in my MK4 jetta - have Polk MM6501 and thought they were good - WOW I cant believe the difference just adding these little pieces of foam made - unreal! so much mid bass now
Those factory speakers adapters were way nicer than any truck I've owned or had the door panels off of... Way nicer. My stock speakers on all my vehicles didn't have fancy composite spacers and foam trim pieces. Nope. Just built in metal brackets that were part of the inner door structure and no foam, just the cheap paper cone speakers. Hecho en Mexico. Lol.
this channel really really makes me want to get into audio fabrication, however, I don't really want to do too much to my speakers... till my truck actually goes in reverse.
I'm going to try this for my new 6.5s. It can be done just takes some time. Im pumped I want that full mid bass!! I have a dremel with all the attachments.
I'm for sure making these. I can use the same items in description and follow each step exactly except i'm gonna have to put together 2 rings of 3/4" HDPE since my factory speaker mount is bigger than the one in the video. Also, my factory speaker is about 1/4 inch shorter than the focal aftermarkets i'm installing. that will give me 1.75" to work with and the glass shouldn't touch the speaker.
first time doing this kind of install. I just got some hertz components speakers and I want to make sure I get all of my money's worth out of these speakers. going to take my time with this install.
I enjoy all of CAF videos! I'll request that some videos be done with the items normal people like me have. One piece of plywood, some screws and maybe $100 to invest at a hardware store and/or audio store. Implying we already have speakers, power to the rear and some sort of amp.
The one thing I didn't do when I replaced my stock speakers was use a foam surround. I sealed the speaker, used 2 layers of dynamat both inside and outer side of door to seal it up from back waves. Got the JL Audio C3 600 speakers and they don't have much mid bass.
Awesome Video! I'm plagued with terrible mid bass in my Silverado. Huge dead spots makes almost an anti-sound tone. It's the oddest thing I've ever heard.
This is an awesome video but ,in case you guys dont have these tools you can always order specifically made brackets for your vehicle, and use these techniques. some speakers comes with foam and you can always add sound damping material. Theres many custom made brackets for sale, on metra or cruthfield
Nice job 👌,.. how do we know when it’s a foam that reflects sound waves and when it’s a foam that absorbs sound waves and in what car audio application do we want to reflect vs want to absorb sound?
People saying you're jealous of tools and the talent- you can get there too! It doesn't come overnight. It's late nights spent reading and reading and collecting used tools as you go. Trial and error after error after error.
I did this...made a world of difference on the mid bass output of my jl c-250 6.5's in the doors of my hrv, it looked like the foam was sticking out way too far, but the door panels went back on no problem
I love your vids man. Can you show us how to mathematically calculate the tuning frequency for a ported box before the Box is built ? This is one problem I can't seem to figure out. I know there is box calculators online but I want to know how to do it on paper
Wd40 is the worst thing to use for lubing any kind of cutting tool! Makes the cutting sheer slip and prevents it from cutting .for max cutting yields use cutting tool oil! Special friction modifiers help get a good bite on the cut while keeping the bit cool. Just an fyi! Love your vedios!👍
can you further explain mid bass (no bullet) speakers and midrange speakers (bullet). if you can compare witch is best to use for certain applications.
You really followed this and did exactly what he did? I'm only asking because I'd love to be able to do this but these all look like expensive tools that take up room and i live in a condo. Lol
Hey mark, thanks for the video, awesome as always. I wanted to ask whats the reasoning behind having two different types of plastic? Why not make the ring and bottom plate from same type of plastic?
Salute!/, big ups to you my good brother, i definitely want to say. I appreciate your O,bsessive C,reative D,esigns 👌 👍. I've been installing since early 2000's. Home audio,,structured cabling. I do few car audio installs a year. You've got a great approach to your skill. I like that you give a great review and recommend tools you use. And you've definitely mastered explaining.

are there any merits to a dedicated mid bass woofer? if you have the right amp settings would this be worth while? going to attempt this door panel fab this spring
Is there a sound difference between foam speaker baffles and the open door with kill mat? Which sounds better. I am wondering about the foam baffles for my 6x9 door speakers but wondering if it will limit their sound output vs the open matted door enclosure. You are definitely right about the outside foam ring being necessary. Made a big difference for me.
Just in time.. Great Tips. Getting ready for an install in my 2013 F-150. Now if I can just find the Illumination Wire for the radio. Good by Basic sync audio system.
This is so cool. I have a set of components in the doors of my Ranger but I don't think there is enough clearance for anything like this, any suggestions (apart from door pods)?
Question, I see the foam rings come with a foam plug that you put behind the speaker. I am in the process of installing rear door speakers and was was planning to dynamat the door, but the foam would obviously be cheaper. Which would give better acoustics between the foam and dynamat?? Thanks
Visesh Lall I would still apply dynamat to the door skin, your goal is to remove the resonance from the door metal flexing. The additional weight of the dynamat is much better suited for this goal.
Thanks for the info, I'm preparing to install my front components this week and my local Car AV shop sold me a silicone baffle set exactly like the NVX XBAF65 set instead of those FAST rings, I was wondering if they will work the same or the foam is a better material to seal and direct the sound out. Part of me is worried that all the snow we have for half of the year will affect and rot the foam. I do already have a sub in the back and might return these baffles and put that money to some SoundSkins sound mat if it's a more noticeable improvement over the baffle. Thank you for your help and advice in this channel. I'm asking you because I trust your advice more than armchair audio "experts" online and the salespeople at my local shops.
hi, nice video. I like the way you tell. I searched your videos, i can't find a tutorial about how to put the speaker cableS though the door. I think there are many people who want to drive 2 ways or 3 ways actively. That means you have to put 6 cables through each front door. Now the most new cars use combi-adapter on the door, so that you can't squeeze the cable through the tunnel as the old time. Would you like to make a tutorial how to solve this problem. Thanks for the video and regards
@ Mark,another awesome tech build/tip as always...I have a 99 blazer and i want to cut the door panel grills off and build a spacer so the front 6.5s show through the door panel,have you ever done this before? I cant find a how to vid. Thanks..i appreciate your time.
i have a question, anytime I have wanted to upgrade door speakers and the wires to them, I can't figure out how to run the bigger, upgraded wires to them through the factory, door jam location. how is that done without it looking like a hack job?? thanks, great video as usual
ahhh, yeah cause I believe both of my cars have a plug in harness type door jam set-up. if I drill on top of these harnesses, will I need grommets? they would need to be small grommets...
Instead of using the cut foam ring for the back side, is speaker gasket tape just as effective? Or does the foam ring move into the door panel? I am assuming it is squished to provide a seal. is this correct?
Thanks for this. Can you get sub bass from speakers in car door? I'm thinking that sub bass is possible with this same technique and 6.5 inch speaker able to play at 40Hz.
Mark I have another question... the 95 Mustang uses 5x7 oval speakers in the front doors, can you show how to make an adapter that will allow a 6.5 round speaker to work in this location??? thanks

this channel really really makes me want to get into audio fabrication, however, I don't really want to do too much to my speakers... till my truck actually goes in reverse.
Great video,hopefully you continue your videos ,since quality installs are far and in between in today's market ...Best of Luck
Looks like I have a area on my Beetle to redo now. Defiantly getting a set of those foam rings I bet that will help out my JLs a lot.

i wish u put in audio samples, and what brand midbase speaker is that?
I'm blown away by his dedication
Good job, sir. Now I'm curious about how the door panel reinstall goes since more bulk was added to the door skin. Please explain. Thanks!
The one thing I didn't do when I replaced my stock speakers was use a foam surround.
I sealed the speaker, used 2 layers of dynamat both inside and outer side of door to seal it up from back waves. Got the JL Audio C3 600 speakers and they don't have much mid bass.
You are a perfectionist I would love this standard of install in my truck
Haha, my jigsaw is such a pos, it has two settings, on and off..

Would you recommend using the boom mat speaker baffle???
This is so cool. I have a set of components in the doors of my Ranger but I don't think there is enough clearance for anything like this, any suggestions (apart from door pods)?
The foam compresses so there should be enough clearance. Can always do a full panel build as well.
Thank you.

An oldie but goodie!
Can u do a video on farad caps how they work an the difference between them number wise
In case you can’t get the materials or don’t have all of these tools… can you do the same with MDF or HDF and foam tapes?

Hey man where you been? I need new videos to fix my addiction.
i have a question, anytime I have wanted to upgrade door speakers and the wires to them, I can't figure out how to run the bigger, upgraded wires to them through the factory, door jam location. how is that done without it looking like a hack job??
thanks, great video as usual
ahhh, yeah cause I believe both of my cars have a plug in harness type door jam set-up. if I drill on top of these harnesses, will I need grommets? they would need to be small grommets...
ok understood. thanks allot
Instead of using the cut foam ring for the back side, is speaker gasket tape just as effective? Or does the foam ring move into the door panel? I am assuming it is squished to provide a seal. is this correct?
Thanks for this. Can you get sub bass from speakers in car door? I'm thinking that sub bass is possible with this same technique and 6.5 inch speaker able to play at 40Hz.
Great workmanship, a lot of unnecessary work though. Plus although you added a foam rin on the back, you didnt seal the black plate against the door.
Mark I have another question... the 95 Mustang uses 5x7 oval speakers in the front doors, can you show how to make an adapter that will allow a 6.5 round speaker to work in this location??? thanks
Looks super clean... I love it
