@coinball, any chance you can tell what normally goes on here? OEM tweeter wiring gets spliced into woofer wiring?
 
I don't have stock enclosures to reference the wiring situation, this is my final hump and I can push out rear enclosures (loaded or empty). I have a platoon of CDT demo woofers that can be had for next to nothing, while supplies last. I will provide all the wiring, resistors for those are looking to maintain OEM impedance and Resonix sound deadening treatment. I haven't decided on what tweeter to use, to keep pricing to the minimum, it will probably be Dayton Audio. Loaded with CDT CL woofer and Dayton tweeter, resistors, wiring for plug-play setup will be $225. Without speakers/tweeters, $115. Prices are introductory due to filament costs varying at the moment.

I would definitely be interested. Of course, I think I also have an amp issue, because the previous owner installed a new sub and it's not functional. I know it was done correctly (checked), but no juice.
 
Made the mistake of not appreciating the work fitting bigger tweeters would take! While these will be nice and on axis, I know I may be introducing reflecting wave issues, by pulling it off plane with the door.

Terrible pic, but upped my sound deadening game this week on all 4 doors in prep for a major change. Added more damping, butyl rope along the bar in doors, foam tape under rings @Berkut10r made me, then butyl rope around those, sound absorption in doors, MLF curtain back on, then layer of sound absorption between door and door card, and hit resin on door card to be able put on some damping. X4!

I also have headliner out, pulled rear AC, sound deadening applied across roof, reattached crossmembers with seam sealer, then sound absorbing across roof. Gonna be like a bank vault!

Any pics of these roughly installed? Curious to see how much they protrude beyond the dash.

Those are the SI tweeters, right? Cutout is 52mm / 59mm OD?
 
super hard to beat the factory, but with enough time/$, can be done.

yours truly....plenty of time/not enough $ :bang:
On an LX it takes a bit to catch up to stock levels. On an LC you are starting with a nearly blank slate. It is a very satisfying process to undertake.
