    sounds like you already have the answer then...


    my tweeter baffles were not near that thick though so idk if 1/4" will fit. I guess it depends on if you mount the baffle on top of the metal braket or behind it.

    i make the tweeter baffles i sell out of 1/4 mdf. I know your already done but just saying. I'm very interested in why you were using 1/4mdf for your sub box though?

    I used 3/4" MDF for the box, but i created the maze pattern inside for the air to get out out of 1/4" MDF. And thanks everyone!

    Thanks for bringing this up. Not to hijack OP's thread, but I just looked and my SR5 has the covers but it sure looks like there is nothing behind them. Thought the reason I couldn't hear them is because they just kind of suck... something new to look forward to upgrading. Have a day!

    Thanks Bro. Actually I intended on mounting them in the A pillars, but didn't want to risk damaging the airbag. Anyway, I went with the Polks MM6501's. But, the Infinity series are a nice set of components also. Infinity is known for being crisp and clear. I'd like to see your install. Post a picture if you have one.

    they do say, for best reproduction of sound the tweeter should be as close to the mid as possible, with in 7" usually
