Default Whichever way it was, while it blocked the lows to the tweeter...

...the highs buzz out the woofer. BTW what did you go with for speakers?

Good choice. How many door clips did you break?

None...and I don't know why. Just lucky, I guess!

Default I asked the same question end of April ...

and you could try to find it, somebody explained in deep detail what to do to run your new wire into the door. I didn't do that however just because of the same reason - tight space.
I used female socket under the dash to connect to all door speakers from the amp.

I broke 10 the first time, now I don't break any. You got the touch, I had to learn.

Default I'm concerned about rattles and such after removing the doors...

Does it go back together as tight as original? I'd be bummed if I ended up with squeaks and rattles after taking the doors and sills off for my install. Guess I don't have any other options though.

Default Nope...no other options if you want to upgrade speakers. So far, I don't have any...

...squeaks or rattles.

If you're really concerned about that, then replace all of the clips whether you broke them or not. That way, in theory, it'll be just like when Audi assembled the door and should be just as 'tight'. Just a thought...

Default As long as the clips are intact, the door will be as tight as before. The sills...

...up at the top where the panel meets the glass are a real beatch to get in right. Did have a squeak and rattle in the right rear door. Had to reposition the sill, add some foam to the back of the tweeter, and tie done the crossover cover. Other than that, it was all good.

How many clips does each front door take?
