Focal K2P
Hi guys, i have a 1998 civic coupe VTI and am just wondering whether any of you guys who have installed a focal K2P think its possible for a noob to install it (Woofers are 77mm), i plan to sound deaden the doors and install the amp myself. I also believe i have to flush mount the tweeters somewhere, any suggestions from those who have an EK civic and the same speaker setup? I have installed a headunit and crimped wires, but don't have that many tools to work with, so will have to buy some if i do it myself (jigsaw etc, workbench etc.)
Considering i have to buy tools and stuff, do you think its better i go pro? Any estimates on price in melbourne? But i'd rather do it myself, get some experience and better equipment by saving on installation.
Thanks guys.

For the little bit extra get them installed by a focal dealer and get 3 years warranty. Normally for install you will be looking at between $80-$150

Thats not bad... But it would be much more for an installation with amplifier too right? Anyone know how what a good price for a pair of K2Ps are?
-
Focals RRP on the k2p's is $849 even tho the website says $899, as for the amp it all depends on what size wiring you get and where you want the amp installed, But anywhere between $200 and $350 should cover.

Thanks 52GRUM.
I want to flush mount the tweeters though, that would be more expensive right? The focal tweeters are too bright due to offspill or something like that according to their website. Think i would install the amplifier myself, from what i've read so far, does'nt seem too hard, its the speaker placement and getting a good seal on the speaker with sound deadening too to create good midbass thats hard and thats what i want professionally done.
Hope to hear from anyone with a pair of K2Ps and a honda civic... on what they did...

Well i have 2 sets in my car and i don't think there to Bright for my tastes.
And normally flush mounting them or using the angle cups is the same price where i work.

Thanks dude! You mounted them in your kick panels (the front tweeters?)

my old ride. older model k2p's. i found tweets in the kicks fine on the pillars wich later ran to get a higher soundstage i had to attentuate the tweets by -8.5db but custom L-pad

cjcoupe, where are you planning to install your tweeters??
-
Thanks 55SEXX! You did all that yourself? I don't have the tools for that!
I think i'll put them in the kick panels when i get the speakers, still in the planning stages.
Thanks guys!

as for the tweeters CJcoupe you got any tools at all? or willing to by a few things
