Hey, folks. Hope this is the right place for this thread. My ’92 Ranger Supercab has four blown speakers, so I finally ordered some new Kenwoods through Crutchfield.
When I had the driver’s side door off recently, I noticed that whoever put the last set of speakers in put some heavy duty plastic in there before pushing the speakers into the mounting holes (thus protecting the backs of the speakers from potential rain water that might get down into the doors). I feel like I’ve seen factory-installed plastic sheeting inside of vehicle doors before, presumably for the same reason. The only thing I don’t like about the idea of using more plastic for the new speakers is that it seems to me like they would cause condensation to build up inside.
What do others here usually do about this? Leave the plastic out or put it in? Is there any other material I could use that would shed water from potential leaks, yet be more breathable?
Thanks!
