BRAN's - 986 - Seal Gray Anatomy

[BRAN]

Questions:
Is that little gaze mat, which was underneath the HAES Sub, necessary for a 2-way speaker?
Should the Speaker be able to breath/vent heavily or should it be completely air sealed?
It sounds already good, but want to create the best possible circumstances for the speaker.
Any expert tips?

You'll need to refer to the speaker manufacturers recommendations regarding sealed vs ported and enclosure volume.
Generally speaking, for better response from smaller mid range to sub speakers, you want the enclosure sealed and some insulation inside as the enclosure volume is likely inadequate.

Also, with your gap (port) so close to the cone, you're going to lose a lot of low end to phase cancellation (and a 6.5" speaker isn't going to have much low end to begin with).
Definitely seal that up.

Good advice, did as you suggested (seal + gauze mat), sounds noticably better now. No wonder our dash speakers are limited with their "more open" setup.
Still no Sub punch, of course, so I will have to create a bespoke solution for that, too --> BRANMESTER SOUND

16,5cm is the max door speaker size you can upgrade to...snug fit

Uhm...after sorting bios Upgrades for the Pioneer SBH-BT10, new iPhone Equalizer settings, and perfect Equalizer Settings in the head unit...I am totally blown away.
What a HUGE improvement to my former Stereo! Major Sub Punch now...actually thinking more of getting a tweeter upgrade than a bespoke sub solution. Will probably do both...and create a BRANMESTER Sound, which can easily (for my old ears) compete with nowadays AUDI/Mercedes/BMW sound systems. Well I would say, it can do it already, and with the tweeter and sub upgrade, it will blow those away.
