im not aware of ancy specific enclosure. if so take it off and just mount them on the brakets. screw everything in rely tight and get a low-pass filter capacitor to keep the bass out of them while letting the doors still bump.

It's probably just something loose. Take apart the speaker enclosure and seal the seams up with silicone.

If that doesn't do it, play a "bass test" or something while you listen under the dash for the source of the buzzing. There are so many things under there that can vibrate, it's hard to narrow it down unless you can actually use your ear.

This is a loosing battle. The front dash speakers are poorly designed and were installed as an afterthought. you will never get a good sound out of them. Do yourself a favor if your want to get rid of the bad bass: Install the speakers in the door panels.

Just tune it out with your deck, assuming oyu have one, most new ones come with low pass frequency cut offs at a certain Frequency

they only sound crappy if you dont get em screwed in tight. my doors ratly more than the dash and there both geting 60w.
besides the dash speakers provide more of a soundstage then using the doors and rear pillars.

I checked and its not screws or anything...ive taken it apart several times but its seems as if the speaker is subbing a lot compared to the other one...even when i pan to the left speaker the bass still plays really strong from the right speaker....what can that be from?
