Let me just jump in for a comment?

When I tested a number of different cap values, I was using an audio tet disc with monotone frequencies. I did this to see just where a certain value would audibly change the sounds coming from the door speakers. Then I listened to some of my favorite music-George Thorogood-to make sure I liked what I had done. GT and the Destroyers is a good test disc because it is complex and has good bass runs.
It is a personal preference-not everyone would be happy with a single value.
I did notice that with too high a value (330 and up) the door speakers started to sound tinny. There was a noticable gap in frequency response.
I figure I'll eventually spring for a pair of high-end 6.5"ers for the doors in the future-Infinity Kappas probably- for their ability to reproduce mid-low freqs better than the OEM's. $100 isn't too bad for the added pleasure.

JMHO, ya' know?
