anyone installed DLS UP6 in 2nd gen CL?
Just wondering what to expect of the tweeter install. would I need to modify the mirror sail panels to fit them? Speakers should arrive any day now and I want to do the install pretty much immediately however not sure what to expect. Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like you may have to modify the sails a bit. But you probably won't be sure until you try.

Eldude, how much power should I be feeding the UP6s ? I have an Alpine MRV-F540 which puts put about 80wrms per channel at 4 ohm. I was told by a local recommended shop that my amp would be great match for the speakers.
The install was quite painfull by the way. it's not a problem to fit the tweeter in the housing but to fit the damn cover was a bitch. I thought woofers won't be a problem from the beginning but then I realised that woofers don't fit those plastic spacers very well. Luckily my friend bought a bunch of powermat so I put it around in 3 layers until there was no gap anymore and then put a piece of powermat around the speaker hole as well. So I think that worked out well.

That's why they call it work... We make our own spacers or mod the OEM ones with an air-powered hacksaw - without that, making your own was probably easier.
I run the UP6 in our TSX off of a 70wpc amp and it sounds great. There are a lot of people on the net wraning aobut underpowering, but it's rarely an issue except for speaks like Dynes or such. I've run those on 50w and had them sound great.
Now that everything is properly tuned... it sounds simply AWESOME!! 
for DLS and their great products. Just waiting on my 4-way Eclipse fillers to come in on Thursday and I can finally say that I am finished. 
ummm, did I say awesome already?
