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.Originally Posted by 53driver
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.

Here is a link to the Clarion unit I used

What model speaker is that? the DB series?

Do you think you could have gotten by with a thinner gasket/adapter plate to seat the speakers deeper?

Driving them with a Polk 200 watt per channel PAB 2000.2 amp. They sound pretty good.
