I'm working with some woofers for the front doors with a tough mounting depth and am having a little trouble.

I'm using Resonant Engineering XXX Mids, which have a mounting depth of about 3.5"
Add in the thickness of the front baffle and the excursion of the cone (13mm Xmax = roughly .51")

So total, i will need slightly over 4" to work with, from rolled down window in the door to door panel.

There are about 2" to work with between the window and the door sheet metal.
So basically, I need a baffle of 1.5" thickness, and need to have a little over .5" left between the baffle and the door panel...
I don't think that's happening with a mounting baffle already 1.5" thick.

So basically, to shorten the reason for this post a little....

What are some creative ways people have mounted deep deep speakers?

(Other than selling these and getting other ones, I've already heard that solution).

 

mount them in kick panels instead of the door, this way you only have to worry about the depth, get better imaging this way too

 

fuji... you said you could make custom kicks right? How much for kicks and tweeter pods that mount up in the front corner of the door?

 

but what I have to worry about with kicks is space, and I dont think I'm comfortable with a kick panel that allows space for a 3.5" deep speaker plus grill, almost 7" in diameter, plus a 1" tweeter, all at my feet. That would take up considerable space in my eyes.
