well...first off, if you have manual windows, It's gonna be tough. I've looked into doing it myself, but you'd really be pushing it with the crank in the position it is....then again, it depends on the driver, I wanted to put 8s in my doors If you're new to fiberglassing, get yourself some practice using it before you start tearin up your door panel. and if you build an enclosure within the door, you really shouldn't have to worry about bracing. Just slap on a layer of dynamat on the inner and outer skins......If you're trying to put a set of components, you're better off goin into the kicks and get yourself a better image in the process....the doors are more of a home for midbass IMO. hope this helps
