And the sound installation begins:

Starting with trimming the speaker surrounds at the door card

Forgot to measure the thickness...but here's the self made spacer for the speakers

Boot panel removed to gain access to the factory amp

Rough idea of the final set up...this might change a little

Tweeter surround

to this:

and finally to this:

Thats all for now ...more to come as work progress

Best white one I've seen. I actually like the roof rack look, something different.

Looking Good Yung

I particularly like the tweeter surrounds. I just fitted my Focal's into the factory fittings without mods.

One thing you might need to do is lightly trim down the double ring of plastic that runs around the outer edge of the speaker grille on the inside of the front door trim.

I had to trim mine right down until the two raised edges were completely level with the background. You should end up with a completely flat ring around the grille. The reason is that on full extension my Focal 165VR's butyl suspension could touch the door trim and made a really nasty noise. They did not need much extra clearance, just a couple of millimeters. It's hard to see until you fit the speakers and power them up, and it also depends on just how much extension you get from your drivers.

Something like this:

Look forward to more updates.
