System Install - 2way or 3way component - Shop says 2way

Yeah I know, I couldnt remember where you told me, I couldnt find the post lol.

Ok cool. Good luck picking up the car.

There is a place by me MCOR in Lutz, that I hear have done some good work with audio & leather.

I called them today about leather and to keep the same color leather would be 899. custom would be around 1100. Not a bad deal. Let us know about the fiberglass install in the trunk.

 

vidoprof,

You mentioned that you are thinking of installing Hertz HSK 163. I have now installed the midrange HL70 and the tweeter HT25 in the dash, and here are some pictures of how I did the installation. The midrange HL70 fits without any mods to the dash and grille. I mounted the tweeter on the grille (this of course required 2 holes in the grille, one for the mounting, the other for the cable), and ran the cable through an opening just below the HT70 down to the dash. I hope the pics will clarify the mounting.

I used the the supplied crossover between the MID and TW, but mounted them under the drivers seat, so there was a bit of wiring to be done.

The sound is much different from the original, and especially in standstill I find the outcome surprisingly OK considering I am still using the factory woofers in the doors, and the factory amp. The sound is perhaps a bit heavy on treble, but I have not had time for proper listening, as I just finished the installation yesterday. I will install the woofers to the doors some time (much) later, once I find suitable adapters. Furthermore, I am now playing with the thought of installing the JBL MS-8 to get the adjustments right, but that's some serious money.

By the way, my car is 2011 European model, non nav head unit, but 8 speaker sound system and a separate amp under the passenger seat.

 

is that the model with the jbl's? i dont think i see that in my car. I got a package 2. or does my car have that too?

 

My car does not have the JBL stereo. I am not familiar with the US packages, but here in Finland we have here two factory versions of stereo available, a 6 speaker version whcih is connected to the head unit, and another with 8 speakers and a separete amplifier. The JBL version is on option list only.
