Anyone removed door cards yet?

Any one have info on speaker size and mounting depth?

Or a link to wiring diagram so I can see where they put the in line crossover?

Hi there,

Just wondering what you mean by Door card removal?? Never heard of this before..

Peace!

The plastic that covers the metal on the inside of the door. You remove it to gain access to speakers.

 

[Mr. Auto]

Ahh, I see. Are you planning to throw some after market speakers in?

Cheers!

I am, Focal ISS170's they arrive Monday.

If you should plan such an upgrade please look into correctly sound deadening/proofing your doors at the same time

Nothing worse than all the trim rattling after a speaker upgrade.

Please post your pics, perhaps even a how-to if you can? I think a few would be interested in this.

Its all those clips I worry about, you're never quite sure if they will snap off or never go back on again properly.

Thanks for the info, I already took it apart upgraded everything

Will this help you? Its from other thread here...

Sweet! Any pics of the procedure? What material/product did you use to insulate inside the door panels?

P.S. Good speaker choice. Focals are quality.

Isn't that picture mine? Lol

The focal iss170s were a straight fit. I ran the cables from the amps to the tweeters. The tweeters receive the signal from the head unit and pass them onto the door speakers.


I used silent coat bulk pack to sound deaden the boot, under the rear seats the 4doors.

Also used silent coat ccf and mlv for the doors n boot.

Amp wise I settled on the Kenwood xr400-4 absolutely astonishing how the get 2x75wrms and 1x200wrms out of this! So tiny.

Sub wise I used the jl micro sub 8" ported driver, fantastic sound, you would think its a very good 10"

I have a few photos I'll upload tomorrow when the alcohol wears off lol

I'd be interested in the sound deadening methods you've used as I wouldn't mind reducing the amount of noise that comes through the wafer thin door skins

Made a significant difference at 30mph. I have yet to do a motorway run, that's when I'll know if it was all worth it.

I feel that the floorpan needs it too, but seats n carpet out was a step to far for me lol

Please share what you did! I'm picking mine up next week and if its not too difficult this could be one of those jobs I might tackle

Someone mentioned a screw as well as the clips. Does this have to be removed before yanking all the clips out? If so, is it behind small piece of plastic where the inside door pull is?
