OK as promised here are a few pics of my progress on soundproofing
& new sound system.
It's taking a little longer than expected......
work seems to keep getting in the way of my fun .

------------
Here are some trunk shots;

 

here are some interior...

 

& here are the tweeter mods..
removed puny bose & cut in new Focal.

 

Sweet, Ive been wanting to upgrade the tweets but havent gotten around to it, any tips?

 

-very nice work Ian, shows you are a person that pays attention to detail. Definitely a Professional job . Can hardly wait to see and hear the end result once it is completed.

Also great pictorial of your work in progress.

Nice job Ian. The end result should be terrific.
Can't wait to hear it.

I've studdied those pics closely and can't find a single out of place screw.

That's OK....
I am substituting other fasteners for some of the OEM screws.
So.... technicaly, I will have some screws left over.

Guess I'm on the hook for a round after all.

 

Thanks, I'm pleased with the way they turned out.
There was not a mm to spare in the OEM panel.

You want to do just the tweets?
Installing the tweets in the OEM panel was the easy part.
Getting there was the most time consuming portion.

It's not really worth it IMO, unless you do the other speakers as well.
I think the tweets are the least of the problems with the OEM system.

 

That thing is gonna be like a compression chamber when it's done
Are you putting subs and amps?

The entire Bose system is deep sixed.
I'm not looking for a giant boom box that bounces down the street,
but a hi qual system that improves on the current setup.

Installing:
- Pioneer AVIC-D1 with NAV
- Audison 5 ch amp
- Focal 6.5" VA polyglass & tweets in front doors
- Focal 6.5" CA with integrated tweets in rear doors
- Focal 8" V2 polyglass sub; custom enclosure in corner of trunk
* everything rewired with low noise OFC braided cables

 

LOL, You get that job done and it sounds good, I'll buy the round and pin a medal on ya to boot.........


Great job so far bro, G/L with finishing it.

Colin

 

Ian,

Any updates??

B.

 

Patience young grasshopper.

~~ taking lots of pics,
trying to get a few other things done at the same time.
( 3/8 spacer, GroundGrid by Ian, & seat control mod)

Also;
#1 on my honeydooo list is a room renovation in the house

 

what's the seat control mod?

how much of a difference do the new tweeters provide?

 

Wow, lots to do Ian, your list is growing instead of getting smaller .
And those honeydo lists can really get in the way sometimes .
Can hardly wait to see your new girl, and I am sure your new GPS will work better than a certain person's (cough C cough) we were following during another meet
