kink Member 294 Member For: 16y 5m 3d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 18/09/11 11:46 PM Share Posted 18/09/11 11:46 PM Does anyone know the dept of the factory speakers? Or the deepest you can can go?I nearly forgot. The stock speaker is around 60mm. The Ford spacer is a funny shape and it 50mm one side and 60mm the other. So the stock speaker would hardly go into the door at all. I would say, as a guess if you were to use the stock spacer I would think you could nearly get a 80-100mm deep speaker in, but don't take my word on that...

Jake F6 Donating Members 327 Member For: 21y 5m 24d Location: Melbourne Posted 22/04/12 09:51 AM Share Posted 22/04/12 09:51 AM Thanks Jizza (and all).I have been inspired by this thread to upgrade my premium audio and after a bit of research have decided to upgrade as follows:Front: Alpine SPG-17CS 6.5" ComponentsRear: Alpine SPS-610C 6.5" CoaxShelf: JBL GTO-804 8" SubI will run this off the factory head unit & sub - straight replacements.Given that I have the premium audio, I presume that I don't need to run any additional wires through from the doors to the a-pillar like Jizza did, I just replace existing tweeters and crossovers using existing wires?Also any advice on replacing the sub, is this just a straightforward swap?Also how much dynamat should I use? Front doors only?I have never attempted anything like this before - wish me luck :()Jake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just run some through its not hard and you'll appreciate it afterwards much better than the crap they put in standard! Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z2TT Member 714 Member For: 12y 7m 12d Posted 30/10/12 05:13 PM Share Posted 30/10/12 05:13 PM Is the Inbuilt amp on the ICC good and powerful enough to run aftermarket speakers and a Sub or will you benefit hugely from aftermarket amp?Thing is I'm considering keeping the factory ICC but replacing the speakers in door and sub with another one and hoping to get clear sound even when turned up quite a bit,but not absolutely blaring.
