Or is the lower cutoff frequency driving the speaker high enough that the open baffle just doesn't have much cancellation effect (or the car is just too noisy to tell).
Thanks!
in post #43, the first link is the picture right after i installed my point-sources. they just sit in the opening, with a small section of aluminum flat bar with the oem bolts to hold it down on the edges to keep from vibrating. i want to say they were deep enough that the magnet assembly was touching on the bottom as well, but don't clearly recall any more...

i don't notice any ill effects from this method. it's really all i can say. it's still possible of course, but i don't notice any of it...
