I had the Focal 165 K2 components in the front for about a week. The TN-45 tweeter that came with the set was pretty good, but I wanted to upgrade to the TN-51 tweeter. My installer gave me an awesome deal that I could not refuse. Basically, he upgraded me to the 165 K2P components that had the TN-52 tweeter for an extra $180 CAD.

Anyways, the TN-52 tweeter was too big for the stock tweeter location so it was moved out to the A-pillar...

driver's side


passenger's side


So, now the tweeters are in the A-pillar and the stock location is just an empty shell. This kind of bugs me...what should I do with it?

Should I just leave it like that? Remove the stock housing and have that panel flushed? Or, do something else with it...suggestions please.

 

Oh yeah, the center channel speaker still has not been installed due to fitment issues.

The original plan was to mount it in the coin tray area and relocate the ecu hook-up and seat warmer controls elsewhere. I guess there were still fitment issues with that idea.

I then suggested mounting it in the overhead sunglasses compartment. The installer said it would look cool but would sound like crap.

The only alternative is to cut the dashboard and mount it there. Unless I come up with a feasible alternative, I'm going to have to sacrifice the dashboard...not really that big of a deal now since I've already cut into the A-pillars to facilitate the tweeters.

Any other suggestions would be great.

 

Hahaha, and to think I started out only wanting one sub, amp and box which initially costed me about $2000 CAD. I got addicted and kept on adding/upgrading more and more to the system. Final cost ballooned to just over $18,000 CAD...ahahaha


Ugggh, I'm poor now.

 

jeez... stop it !

 

damn....thats alot of money..good work thou..
