wow amazing work..we see a lot of things done to cars like turbos and body kits but this is def not something we see every day...you are the leader of systems as far as I no...congrats

[Photoguy1313]

would love to know the specs of the box you built was wanting to do subs but didnt want to take up the whole back love the look of it...

[Rizer]

Very very interesting. How did you know what size to make the sub box? I might be putting a sub in soon.

BTW, I'm from Holland.

Well we just made a box that could fit in the trunk, so we ended up with 24 liters for each speaker.
Than we did search for a speaker that would fit in this small box.
The Hertz sub we used are buildt for 20-30 liter in a closed box.
See this link.

Sub box ES300 Hertz

I have twin subs in the rear (10"). It sounds pretty okay unless you're in the back seat (but why on earth would you want to even BE back there?). For my setup right now, it overpowers the other speakers somewhat. That's why I think this thread is going to be so valuable. It's all about quality, not so much quantity. (although in this case the quality is achieved somewhat through quantity!)

Can't wait to see this come together

Good point. I think I'm definitely only going to go with a 10 or 12" for my 4 speakers...

And rizer, you need to clean that interior up a bit

[GriffGirl]

Are you putting in another set of door speakers in addition to the tweeters and ones that were at the bottom of the door? If so what size speakers, and do they need to be slim so they'll fit and not interfere with the window? I was thinking about adding another pair of speakers to make a total of 10 speakers (counting the subs) but IDK if putting them up front would just overpower things or if it'd make more sense to put them in the back. Doesn't the stock 8 speaker setup contain 3 pairs total up front?

Your tweeters look great, by the way. I kind of wish you could carbon-wrap the triangles though, I think that would look really nice.

[Rizer]

Than the rear speakers is installed.

Original speaker



We have to remove some of the plastic to make room for the 6,5" speaker.




The new speaker



We had to make new monting holes for the screws, as the originale ones was too wide.

The door speaker involved some more troubble that I had hope for, but now it's finaly done.








And here we go, 3 speaker front door system.

You should really re-glue the cover again..

[Rizer]

Today we did damped both doors, and the rear.
This did a huge different, and I can highly recomend to do this.

I know, it does not look that good, but today tha glue was hardened, and it looks GREAT.
I will upload a new picture of it later.

[Rizer]

Just a quick update of the door, after the glue has hardened.
The tweeter angel is way of, so we have to change that soon.

Out of interest - i see that you had to cut the tweeter holes yourself which suggests that you did not have the premium system but then you have the bracket for the third speaker. Does this mean that the adapters are just sat in the door waiting to be used?

[GriffGirl]

If you're referring to the connectors for the tweeters, yes, they're sitting inside the door waiting for to be used!

i was asking about the bracket holding the 4" speaker - although i look again i see that there is a 4" speaker in the photo so i'm guessing he got them from a scrapyard or something. Thanks though.
