[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8855308, member: 576029"] The front doors have a decent amount of sound absorption on them, with an appropriate membrane to cover the opening into the door. The stock speaker is a 6x9 driver that had decent bass response in the factory configuration. There is some factory deadener applied to the outer door skin, but it is thin and able to be peeled back. The door panels are annoying to remove, but not terrible one you figure out the trick. I did not try to separate the panel from the weatherstripping due to the metal clips, instead, I lifted the combination off the door by removing three plastic push-in clips. Chevrolet wiring harnesses are removed by pulling the red tab backwards then depressing a small, recessed lever to disengage the clip. It is easy once you know the process.

These rear side panels have speakers mounted to them, but they are nearly inaudible in the factory system and will not be reused in this build. There is some decent padding bonded to an acoustic barrier in the cavity behind the speaker, but the rest of the rear quarter is hollow. The entire rear metal assembly is very resonant, and tinny.
