This is a great idea, did you have any trouble with the magnet from the Pioneer sub? What is the diameter of the magnet because i know that the encloser is really small because i want to drop some Kicker CompVt's in my doors but the diameter of the magnet is 6" and is too big for the encloser.
I know that the pioneers that he used are a shallow mount sub, the kickers i was talking about are a shallow mount as well but the space in the factory enclosure doesnt leave much room for the magnet since the factory magnet was literally an inch in diameter while aftermarket ones are much bigger, like in the Kicker shallow mount which is 6" in diameter, so my question was how did he make room to fit the magnet and what is the size of the magnet on the Pioneer Premier's?
Not sure on the specifics but just letting you know I am in Illinois and am an installer. I have an 05 GT i decided to ditch the whole door sub and just leave them unhooked in favor of a sub in the trunk. I will tell you though that the pioneer slims are great subs I have installed them in a ton of cars as well just put them in a C6 corvettes door running infinite baffle, as in the enclsoure is the doors it self and they sound great

Alright from what I can tell by the pictures he made a 1" ring to space the sub out.... But you are saying you dont have a depth issue, you have a diameter issue? Pionner doesnt have specs on there site on the diameter of the magnet it just tells you the depth of the subwoofer....Spacing the sub out with that ring will help the diameter issuse. Do you have the subwoofer already? If you pull the factory sub out and put the kicker in it places will show you how much you may have to space it out.... If that doesnt help you may have to take that door off and do some cutting and building to get it to fit.....I have seen people on here use the kicker comp sub in the factory location you may want to see if you can find them on here and PM them on how they install it.
Quick question. I am installing these subs in the doors, possibly with a 1" ring because top mounting depth is 4.125" and the stock enclosure is about 3.5". Should I retain the use of the tuned enclosure that ford has in the door panels? It actually runs about the length of the door and has a cotton padding piece halfway in. Here are the subs. Anything else I should know let me know before I get in way over my head. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT
