A quick fix is to remove the box, insulate the inside of the doors, install the speakers on a baffle and put a grill through the fabric of the interior door panel. When you wire the speakers, be ready for a 160 hz choke. The door acts as a resonance chamber and can amplify that frequency.
I am going to use truck bed liner as the insulation material. I will keep you all posted on the end result.
That's one option. I want to keep the rear of the bose box, at least, for waterproofing. For some reason my doors seem to have gotten a lot of water in them (based on how rusty the screws were on the bottom carpet portion of the door panel. I think my new outer door seals should help that. Currently I'm trying to cut the front out of the bose box and epoxy in some plexiglass. That's my idea, at least. We'll see how it works in practice. If it's a no go, I'll just use a sheet of plexi behind the door and mount the speaker in it and maybe use the bottom of a pail or tupperware type container to waterproof.
As far as the sawzall, I need that to cut the bose boxes and the speaker grills. The rotozip isn't working too well with the front boxes and kind of hacks the speaker grill. Could be I'm using drywall bits, lol.
