Portent 0 Posted April 7, 2012 Right o... I've already fitted the pods but I kept meaning to ask something. With normal OEM pods they are screwed into the door card and then when the card goes back on the door there is a hidden screw inside the speaker hole which secures the pod onto a bracket on the door. I assume this is to help hold the door card on but also to ensure the pod doesn't move and therefore to give a better sound quality. When I fitted the Audioscapes there was no screw hole inside the speaker hole. It also wouldn't fit onto the door unless I removed the bracket on the door. So I removed it. Is this right?

bristolbaron 10 Posted April 8, 2012 All correct.. Have you just mounted using only original screws/positions? Most people use about 8 screws per side because of the weight.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Portent 0 Posted April 8, 2012 Thanks. I added extra screws on the lower part of the pods so something like 6 to 8 screws in total per side. But it does feel a bit of a design flaw with the lower half of the door card no longer supported by the bracket. I assume it degrades audio quality a little.

bristolbaron 10 Posted April 8, 2012 Early cars didn't have that bracket anyway. Realistically a better design would be something where the speaker is mounted to the door and the pod just acts as a cover. However with my doors fully dynamatted and screwed as yours I'm pretty happy with the sound quality. I think spoonfed offer a better option but so expensive to import..
