I installed one of the early sets of Hans OB door speakers today. I actually pulled the door panel ( first time) to see whats going on in there and replace my door stopper ( mine was shot!). Found the plastic water shield falling off....typical. I pulled that off and covered the 3 larger holes with dynamat. Regarding the speakers- the PO had installed some Retrosound speakers ( $59 crutchfield) that are REALY shallow, but no mid/low end (especially the way they are installed). I found the 3 of the 4 studs on the driver door panel there, but none on the passenger side. I replaced the studs by using some small #6-32 T-nuts and 1/2 machine screws. pics below. didnt get the passenger panel back on yet so I have not yet heard them. also shown below is a comparison of some coaxial speakers I have (magnet way too large), hans speaker, and the retrosound speaker.

I like it. What is the Disk Brake Quiet for?
I replaced my door cards with a later model only to find out that later doors have
cut outs in them for the second speaker. Looking for a new solution

Also you might note that a cheaper solution to Dynamate can be found at HomeDepot
in the roofing dept.

I'm putting Han's speakers in now also - really nice job, Hans - saving the originality of the OB's... another bizarre example of the 928 was made, attaching door speakers to the fiber board of the door panels on studs - thank God I'm the first guy to take mine apart...

Okay, am I the only one that will bite? Or am I the only one who doesn't know this?

Roofing is heavy stuff.

Not to mention the roofing crap stinks! I mean literally, it smells like asphalt. Stick to stuff actually designed for sound/vibration deadening, butyl based is the best.

I used the updated version of Brownbread. The stuff is really great at what it does and has no scent at all, even on hot summer days. It also costs a lot less than dynomat, works better too.

No longer available; replaced with B-Quiet Ultimate (http://www.b-quiet.com/brownbread.html) which I have used and like.

Can you post these pics again, the link is broken somehow. I'm really interested in the results.

Thanks

Are these speakers readily available or is Hans batching them?

MjRocket

Best bet is to ask the man himself.

I installed the hans OB speakers last fall, and they are fantastic.

I (well Sean really) put Han's speakers in my Weissach and added a period correct radio. Sounds really good so another fan of Han's speakers.
