Fridays install

This is what I did friday, removed the door trims to find badly fitted speakers 2 screws and a gap round the outside
Which isn't good as it is very important that sound waves do not reach from the rear of the speaker to its front. If this occurs, cancellation will occur and bass response will suffer.

So I put in some Kenwood mids with mdf spacers with fli crossovers and tweeters all with ofc wire
Image
Then made up a frunk amp board and wired it in
Image
Fitted a sub in enclosure behind the passenger seat
Image
Then put the amp board in and the alpine headunit and had a listen
Image
Sounds nice good staging and the bass has a nice thump.
