To all who thought putting door speakers in your Civic was a PITA
I just finnished an install on an Audi A4. 51/4 MB Quart Premiums, JL 6.5 Rear, Old punch 4 channel. Goddamnit does the A4 suck for door speakers. Audi sticks a thin, shitty 4" on the back of the actual trim panel. 
So, there is absolutely nothing on the door itself to bolt to. Had to make special brackets, baffles, etc. etc. Took hours to finish. Sounds incredible though, but don't ever bitch about having to cut MDF spacers for the Civic again . . . LOL.

I ended up cutting the metal to fit my MB Quarts in my doors. I'm using the grill mounting ring that came with the speakers (backwards) as a spacer, but I need to make some real spacers from MDF. Just haven't had the time. Speakers still sound great though.

Maybe an audiophile like yourself may find the SQ to be crap, but that's you. I'm just a regular guy looking for decent sound. I know you are the man when it comes to audio on this board, but don't take my comments in an offensive way please.
Peace, Phu.

About the zip ties, you don't know what you're missing, I'm sure you're missing a ton of bass. You might as well put em in securely, you paid for the speakers, might as well have them sound as good as you can.
But, again, if you're happy, that's all that matters.
