palemud Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 This past weekend, I was successful in a replacing my front door speakers with the Infinity Kappa 60.9cs component speaker system. Here are a couple pics: The install actually wasn't very difficult. The most difficult part was custom making the plate for the tweeter to fit in the door. To do this, I bought a piece of plastic sheet from Home Depot, traced the older speaker on the plastic, used a jigsaw to cut out the outline and center circle for the speaker, drilled screw holes and painted it black. The rest is just running wires and some soldering. System sounds MUCH better, but I'll be happier when I can replace my rear speakers... which is infinitely more complicated since you just about have to take the entire rear interior out for that....

cmcveay Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Hey, I'm really interested in doing the same things you are with the audio. Since I have a cavernous space under my rear seat delete, I've got a place for an aftermarket amp as well. I'd also like to add some sound deadening to the rear end when doing all of that and I've already got a roll of dynamat ready to go. When you get ready to do the rear speaker upgrade, give me a shout and I'll be glad to join in. 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was getting ready to do a system soon, but after seeing the group buy on the intercooler I might have to delay it. 2009 MINI Clubman Factory JCW CR/B Helix BOV, DDM CAI, Helix STS, 35% tint, Black R113 wheels, eibach pro kit, 8000K 55w HID's. 2006 MINI Cooper S PS/B 176 fwhp/ 165 fwtq SOLD 2004 Pontiac GTO BLK 389 rwhp / 454 rwtq SOLD [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
