Crisp.. thanks for the compliment, sure looks like I know what Im talking about!
SMAN... 80-100hz is really going to be tough.
1. Even at 100Hz with a 12db slope you will get low notes coming out
of your sub. with those sounds coming from the trunk the image
will be pulled back.
2. typical 6.5 should get to about 60-71hz region without a problem.
as for the baffle/enclosure, it is my opinion that freeair into the door is the best sounding. my buddy and I disagree about it , but if you consider sealing the door completely; the entire door becomes a giant baffle and not restricted like a baffle.
water damage is not something to consider but unless it floods there, water gets soaked by the felt or slides off the glass without a problem. Plus there are holes along the bottom for drainage ( should you need it)
In relation, the speaker is on the inside of the door and the magnet is floating in the door, water can only get in there if water came in from the inside panel. so there will be condensation but otherwise, there isnt much to worry about other than flooding.
hope this helps.
