Boston component speakers

[ShiroiKinCB]

I have a set of boston component speakers withthe tweets and the little box it comes with. My question is will you get more bass if planted in the rear deck of our cb's or in the front doors?

component speakers are not designed for bass, they are for mids/highs. trying to get even decent bass out of them is just going to accelerate wear and blow them quicker. you will want at least a small subwoofer for bass.

To get a decent bass response you need the speaker mounted solidly on something that won't vibrate. You also need an enclosure around the speaker. Neither locations provide these neccesities.

You best bet would be the front doors to keep whatever you get bass up front for better sound. You need to make a new speaker baffle, solidify the sheet metal so it won't flex and finally seal the doors as much as possible.

I see. I take it you did all of this?

Another idea for you. If you could build some small boxes to go behind the deck speakers, and drill a vent through the sheet metal but NOT the carpet, you should get some decent response. Sound should reflect off the back window.

But keep in mind better speaker=better sound

Partially, wood baffle, 8mm butyl/mastic sound deadening on outside door skin and some memory foam to reduce back waves, buytl dampener and memory foam on inside skin with all holes and wires cover over

To really reinforce it, I would cut out door and weld in .25" plate for speaker baffle and across inside skin for a stiffener.

as everyone else has stated, these speakers won't give you much bass response. component speakers usually cover only high-end and mid range. buy yourself a decent sub and an amp - you won't be disappointed.

Lol never have your mids/highs for bass, otherwise you'll distort and destroy them....
