That was my plan B, but the Focus' door was designed so even a drunk blind idiot could figure out how to open and close it (giant door handle and pull bar) so the speaker got pushed right to the end of the door. I would hae to modify the door and dash to make a pod... I don't have 1/2 the manufacturing abilities needed for that kind of alteration
Not the best angle but you can see how little space the speaker got in the panel (The speaker itself is located about 1/2" from the glovebox)
