    Skin Effect. Only significant for high frequencies - e.g. at 10k Hz skin depth is ~0.65 mm At motor frequencies, 100-200 Hz max, skin depth is couple milliliters - nothing to worry about.

    Door Speaker Talk....

    Yeah, looks like it got good reviews from people. Though even at Lowe's price, dollar per pound, it's not that much cheaper than specialized deadening stuff - like 70% or so.

    But either way they will break again in couple weeks, right? My goal was to fix it once and for all.

    Anything will be better than oem coffee filters even with all noise our cars make! I have Boston Acoustics Pro60SE (now discontinued), only issue was freezing cones in cold Chicago winters.

    Boost Leak

    There is some daily driveability that may to be affected and emissions concerns - do your research. If you do not see anything obvious, then you may try to swap that black control box that sits on the top of IM. Many people have them laying around from deleting VTCS and will sell for just a...

    From what we've seen, may be all he needs to do is to connect that VTCS actuator arm or electric plug..
