What are you talking about exactly with the closed box effect for the rears? Mine sound pretty bad and I'm trying to figure out why.

Easy, they're blown

Nah, just take a look at the cone, make sure they're in good condition. If you have new ones installed, then make sure that everything is tied down correctly. Follow this guy's plan and put foam in between the speaker and the adapter/holder. This will eliminate rattle. I would also recommend the 3/4 panel dampening, it'll save you a lot of hassle later.

Rizer, if you are planning on redoing the wiring to the rear, put down some sound dampening material along the whole bed of the car. It'll help out a LOT when you cruise on the freeway. Helps eliminate a vast majority of the road noise we suffer from, you'll thank me later! :-D

Yeah right, I would kill if I my two-month old speakers were blown! It's distortion. I think my HU isn't powerful enough to power all four. They're also sitting on the old glue from the speaker, so it's not rattle. The fronts are sealed onto the adaptors with the adapters sealed to the housing. I think I might just need an amp...

And looking at his pictures, I don't even know if I have that surround that he has. Would the foam in between the speaker and the housing really help, since it's already seated in well enough.
