Factory fronts - not bad at all, plastic cone, about 5 1/2" - note they're f'n rivited into place..
Factory tweets - this one never worked.. (sorry camera wouldn't focus)
When removing caldina door trim, the two (BASTARD) tabs indicated are why you have difficulty with the handle surround..
Door trim in unmodified form - there is a raised ring around the 'grille', and note the handy spot for mounting a crossover
Removed the raised ring with craft-knife (it does interfere with the speaker once installed)
Modified the white thingy to mount crossover as shown
After mounting the woofer, discovered it interferes with the window, so take two (one for each side) cookie-time buckets..
Voila - one perfect size 5mm spacer
:D:D
Finished install - tweets mounted in factory location with hotglue
Loom for the speakers is plugged into factory wiring for now, until I get amp racks designed/created/etc to run them.
With the door trim back on, it looks completely factory, so nothing to show, but it sounds fantastic, even just off the head unit with no deadening in the doors
Stage 2 of the install will include deadening the doors, blocking off the access holes and running the wiring so I can run the fronts off the amps.
the basket was too big for the hole if i used a 5mm spacer , haha snwtoy, MINE ARE BIGGER THAN YOURS!!!! haha, and yeah i had to take out that raised ring in the door card too...
