Client came to us looking for an upgrade from his factory Bose system. Wanted something with a little more volume but more importantly better definition, balance, and overall output quality. After some consultation we decided on product that would work best for him to achieve his goals; he sourced the product and we got to work.
There were a few necessities that the client wanted that made this vehicle, with the product chosen, a little more difficult including full access to his spare tire.
First we ran the power and ground right to the battery and make our speaker output harness. Everything was wrapped in cloth tape to match the factory wire packs and appear factory. I soldered our connections at the factory amplifier plug and heat shrunk out connections and the bare ends from the output side of the amplifier.
Next I utilized the factory speaker plugs for the 8" mid-bass/subwoofer in the door and modified them to connect to the driver we were using.
Took the factory tweeters out of the dash and replaced them with the Hertz Mille 28mm tweeter securing them to the car with an ABS adapter made as a direct replacement for the factory.
Moving onto the doors. The factory Bose 8" was replaced with the Hertz Mille 7" mid-bass driver. Great extension to limit any loss in mid-range due to no dedicated mid-range long with bringing the bass produced by the subwoofer forward with exceptional mid-bass response. Again the speaker adapter was one-off to match the factory piece and bolt directly to the door using existing hardware. The spacer was just under 3" and made of HDPE to ensure a lifetime of durability.
