water in front doors?

     I've heard that water gets into the front doors, which is why you're supposed to use a closed-cell foam inside them instead of an open celled foam. Does this not damage the speaker in the door? I also have my passive crossovers inbetween the doors skins, will this cause a problem? Is there any way to keep this water from entering the door?

No, you can't keep water out of the door as long as you still want the window to go up and down.  Be sure when you dampen the doors you leave the drain holes at the bottom clear.  You can use foam enclosures around your speakers to help protect them, and while it is never a good idea to mount your crossovers inside the door, you can do it if you seal them in plastic.  Those vacuum sealing bag systems designed for freezing food work great for this.

i installed my crossovers in the door one time.... needless to say it was the last time as well...

...don't crush the weasel...

I try to keep anything like crossovers, relays or electronics not designed for in door use, inside the vehicle where it will be kept dry. I have seen many a car with some dumb install like amp wires run through door jamb into under hood to battery with no fuse, regular relays under the hood exposed to water and heat right next to engine and other crazy stuff like that.

The wire I'm test'n isn't doin' what it's supposed to be doin'... I am so glad I printed that tech sheet, with the wrong info.
Do it right the first time... or I might have to fix it for ya
