Door speaker upgrade need suggestions

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
I’m thinking of upgrading my stock door speakers to Morel Maximo 6.5 components.

I want it to sound as clean as possible and to only do the install once. I already added sound deadening to the doors. Is there anything else I can add?

I saw sound baffles(see picture), is this recommended or not? Or should I apply mdf wood somehow? Not sure if anywhere makes brackets.

Or should I just stick to the stock plastic bracket and leave everything as is?

I already did the infinity ref 4032 3 mid range speaker upgrade. It sounds nice. Definitely hear a lot more details. I want to finish it off by adding door speakers. I feel like it’s lacking mid bass or certain notes.

Sound deaden from inside and outside, cover all bigger holes if any, those should be still accessible in case of repairs
Don't skip on this. If you don't want to put too much sound deadening do 50/50 (50% coverage )
I've used this foam rings and they worked great in the past https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076MM4DJV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Also, sound deaden door plastic panel as it might rattle.

this is actually sound deadener opposite to vibration dampener

That is it :)

awesome, I’ll get the Stinger baffle as I already sound deadened the car.

Did you get the one for the tweeters too or just the 6.5 speakers? I’m not sure if the tweeter baffle would fit in the housing on the Tesla if I were to get it.

I glanced at some of the comments and plan to look later at more, but can you describe what difference the stinger baffle makes?

Mounting depth over 70mm may not able to install.
 
I just installed Orell's newly designed custom 7 speakers with additional bass and amp. for the Y. Due to their innovative plug in design. Absolutely no issues with electric system. Amazing sound difference. Just $1400 with free shipping.

The system was put in by Delux Stereo in Clula Vista. $Around $500
They are incredibly skilled. Over many years I've had many installations done and they are the best I've used.
