Btw, I don't think the factory spacers are thicker in a sense. When I measured, the 200 height was lower. However, I think the factory resonator "tapers" inward so it would fit into the panel's opening. Dang, we are just talking about a few mm here!!!

No matter. It should be ez-pz. .... I hope!

Off to the hardware store.

 

. I haven't measured yet. Measurements are so hard given that parts do vary. A few mm's and you're screwed. One thing is almost certain: cutting up the door panel (black inside plastic speaker liner would be ez and will give outward room.

I'll get some fiberboards and we'll see!

I am listening to rock and Andrea Bocelli and I am smiling!!!!

Can't wait for these puppies to be fully broken in!!

 

Ah, you've had a taste of the improvement! You ain't heard nothing yet! Really need a 3/4" spacer, I think. Also check evhudsons' install. The 6.5" have pretty big magnets and there was no contact. No idea about the 8's though - although they certainly seem to fit - even different kinds (Dynaudio, etc.) in the door.
Certainly no real taste of the bass until the enclosure is sealed, i.e. the door panel is fully mated!

 

I plan to be at cars and coffee in New Canaan, CT on 10/6 if anyone would like to audition my system in person. (www.caffeineandcarburetors.com) Send me a PM!

 

Focals has the newer 8's with stronger magnets (super magnets) but aren't available yet at discount.

I almost bit the bullet on those!

 

Don't make me want to upgrade already! I'm still looking at the subwoofer!

 

Which Focals? I can't find *any* 8s on their website.. Even the IS200 is listed as 7".


I was wondering if these beasts would fit: http://cdtstore.com/hd_series/hd_842.htm

 

They are 8s. 7" cutout.

 

the DYN Audio are 3 1/8 deep/ they fit with a 1/2 inch mdf mount ring

From my experience 2 and 15/16 is the deepes you can go with out interfeating with the power window movement

 

if anyone is interested how does 499.99 plus shipping sound on

1 pair is200

2 pair of the is100

shipping will depend on where you are?

if your interested email me

 

i have the IS200 instock 195.00

also on the link you posted

those subs will not fit and the tweeter is too large

also IMO the bose amp wont handle them well


If you want a kick *** set of speakers Dynaudio system 362 I can do for 1200.00 plus shipping (also would recommend and amp)

 

I have Dynaudio 362's and I can tell you they are worth it period!

 

But you are also running them through a an amp that is about $700. I think your system looks like it was about $5k plus install. I'll bet it is awesome!

Reminder that I'll be in New Canaan this weekend if anyone wants to hear my system.

 

Lol can't argue that except i paid 1/2 price on all items (hook up) and only $2500 on install so I actually only paid total rt at about $5k always use the Internet to research prices!

 

Well done! The install looks like a top flight job as well.
