Took a day off work today and took advantage of the great weather we're still getting and decided to have a stab at fitting my new Infinity components in the front :biggrin:
Firstly, removed the door panel. By the handle where what looks like there should be a tweeter, there is in fact nothing there :redface: so i took this as perfect place to mount the tweeter :cool:
The main woofer is a direct swap for the standard poor excuse for a speaker

I was intending to fit the crossover next to the speaker, but i later found this to stop the door panel from securely re-fitting, so later moved it onto the rear of the door panel :smile:

After doing a dummy install to test all worked ok

I then tidied up all the mountings, wiring and connections, re-fit the door panel and there you go. you'd never knew anyone had been there, except for when you turn the stereo on :tongue:

What a hell of a difference. To say i'm pleased is an understatement. Only problem is, that they've highlighted how poor my current rear speakers are (but thats all in hand :wink: )

:cool: Looking bit of kit. I would say though that the sound of a flat 4 is all i need to listen to.:party0040:

Nope, they don't have tweeters as standard, I thought they did too, but apparently not.

As said, they do sound great and will soon be uprating the rears to keep up with them

Good fit them. when i did mine i went the hole hog, and replaced the old speaker looms as the stardard looms are pants and are very good choke points on any install. pain in the ass doin, but once done its done.
