Running the wires through the door conduit

Tweeter placement ( for now )

You can almost see CDT in there

Drivers door during deadening

Heres the hardest part of the whole install... Ebrake is in the way on the drivers side

oem deadening spray glued on

And thats all folks... sounds really good... but im a SPL nerd.. have to get somebody with sq ears down here to help adjust the tweeter placement

Why not 6.5s? They will fit into them 5x7 holes. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

ummm 6.5 > 5 ... itd take some cutting plus the mounting depth isnt exactly the greatest

hence why we used the neo motor

they work pretty well... the deadening on the back of them helped alot

also i used weather strippign to help seal the speaker to the plate and the plate to the car

How much did those plates run you? And what model CDTs were those?

Did they have decent mid bass?

P.S.: Only asking because I'm looking for some new speakers in the front.
