Question

I am having a tough time getting any smooth bass response out of a pair of freeair door speakers, and would like to explore the possibility of AP mats to enhance my up-front mid/sub bass.
I have noticed that freeair does not give the type of punchy bass that I would like(regardless of sound dampening, and driver), and sealed is barely feasable in my application because I can barely get .15 cuft. Who has any experience with this type of challenge, and what soloutions are there to getting bass out of a small door?
Any expertise is appreciated...

Make it easy on yourself and get a pair of Vario-Vents. ScanSpeak and Dynaudio both make them.

Vario-vent you say...
Do they mount behind the speaker in a wee little sealed enclosure? Do they work well for a mid bass?
Thanks Dukk!

That's pretty much what they were designed for. [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

Of course you can make them easy enuf but why when they are only like $15 a pop [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

That's what I had in mind.
I would imagine that it would be roughly 5-6" in diameter, and be a handful of fiberglass sandwiched between mesh? Does this sound about right?

Exactly. I have a pair of the ScanSpeak at my place right now - the inside grate pops off so you can add or remove for tuning if desired.

They're about 4" of grille area and 5" OD

Those said ScanSpeaks of Dukks will be making their way in the kick panels of my truck My 7" B&W midbass will be playing into the kick panel cavity through the variovent.
