Very professional! I confess I'm waiting until you get it all sorted, then I'm coming to visit, scotch in hand and credit cards at the ready!

Looks great. Painting the side covers makes it look much better. Like the matching profile mounting bracket.
Got any close-up picts of the 6.5" speaker install ? Would like to see how much trimming was necessary and any necessary spacers. Did you have to trim the dash grill ?
Thanks. I wish now that I had just done this from the start. The factory system, sounded much improved when I changed the speakers , added aftermarket amp an subwoofer, but much like a lot of factory systems, it sounded compressed, not as clean, compared to decent after market electronics. Had I just done this route from the start, would have saved a lot of time, but it's all fun.

Other than a pic with one of the woofers in the back ground. Yes a fair amount of trimming the speaker frame was needed. I used a Dremel with a sanding cylinder. And yes, the speakers come with an adapter plate that I used as a spacer along with some rubber gasket material that would compress and fill in any irregularities to seal the drivers in mounting. I have to say, I am pretty well versed at making things work and figuring things out, but I found mounting these speakers a pretty tight fit. They're done though and sound really nice . A bit more Bass ability than the 5.25" drivers. If I had to do it all over again, I might try harder to piece together a component speaker system with some 6" drivers.
