[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8783308, member: 614752"] A lot of those "universal" ABS plastic adapters will require some trimming or light modification in some vehicles. A couple square feet of sound deadener should solve any troubles that are likely to come up as far as sealing and damping, though I've had reasonable luck with those and also building my own out of MDF, plywood, or whatever I have laying around extra. I haven't tried to contact Harmon International in ages but they were helpful (about 10 years back). I did try to email Focal a year or so ago and also got no reply. I think a lot of these companies who sell through wholesalers who supply retailers are just so far removed from the customers they just aren't set up to deal with anybody in between. I don't know if it helps you but I did have great luck contacting Alpine with some questions about a new head unit before I bought it. Their tech seemed to really know his stuff. Might get somewhere with them if you can source Alpine over in the UK and they're probably double the price of the JBL set you're looking into but the Alpine Type R is a pretty solid component set.
