DIY Focal 5KS Subs in the Doors

The Subs im installing in the doors are Focal 13KS 5" SPEAKERS

This is the final step in my audio system...for the time being...thought i would share the process with everyone....

1. Once the door pannel is removed you will need to cut away the foam insulation...I used a straight razor along the factory glue to remove it with no ripping...The cut along the middle so it can be glued back in place


2. Unclip the speaker wire connector...
3. Remove the 4 Phillips screws holding the speaker box in place

Once you get the speaker box out...Now comes the fun part

You will need 2 washers...I am unsure of the suze but they are fender type washers that fit the screws that come with the speaker



Next remove the speaker wire that is attached to the box...leaving just the hole... remove the mounting ring and 6 torx screws




Take you speaker wire crimp on ends and run it through the hole....


Take the speaker and put a good bead of sillicone on the mounting surface


Attach the wires and place the speaker in place...pulling out the excess wire....


Next slide the washers in place 2 for each screw on the forwaed side of the box...


Next reinstall foam and the mounting ring and sic torx screws with the speaker wire underneath... holds the wire in place


Once everything is tight using sillicone liberally fill in all the gaps between the speaker and the box...let it setup for a couple of hours then go back and using you finger...and a glove sppily a little more to make sure there are no holes....

Nice addition. I take it you have the 4" and the tweeter in the dash as a component. Did you replace the rear speakers or just disconnect them?
What are you using for a headunit?

The stereo in my car is terrible, I like how it tells me what songs and etc are playing. So you have an amp and aftermarket head unit? How about a few pics?
