I was able to fit an active subwoofer (Pioneer TS-wx130ea) under the rear parcel shelf of my 2002 Coupé (non-Auditorium)! It fits with some pressure and is completly invisible, sounds good doesnt rattle. As input I was able to take the rear shelf speaker inputs directly (the sub can work with...

Yes, yes! Woofers work - but the low-end frequency response is pretty sub-par with the Alpines. The sound is "ok" as I mentioned, clear and transparent from both components. But when putting on something electronic with a nice low-end (below ~100hz) there is just not much happening. My feeling...

The OEM tweeter had some kind of coil glued to its side near the connector. I'm pretty sure thats the hi-pass for the tweeter. I've read on the forum the speaker-cabling in the door is one cable coming into the door and then goes into a Y-shape, going up to to the tweeter and one going down to...

I did not remove the door panels so no big wiring changes: connected the Alpine tweeter to the existing tweeter speaker-cable, with the little supplied hi-pass filter in between and glued the old tweeter-grid on the new one the bigger 6.5 "woofer" also connects to the cables already coming out...

I've used the amazing (free) "KRK Audio Tools" iphone app. Connected it via line cable to my loudlink. It sends clicking noises, measures the delay (~22ms) and analyzes the phase of the recorded audio of the speaker. Like I said I'm pretty confident polarities are not the issue as I measured and...

I used an app for proper phase detection so I'm relatively confident they are all wired correctly. It is also noticable with just a single speaker running and not multiple ones neutralizing each others phases which would make total sense. If I set the fader just to the front door speakers and...

I've put in the Alpines in the front doors, the rear section and disconnected the rear shelf speakers completly. The sound is "ok" but the BASS is completly missing now (like a cut off everything below 100hz). Really disappointing. I put an original speaker back in the passenger door to have at...

C'mon! Some more info on the topic is much appreciated :drinks:

Try to have an expert really set the KISS/PIS point and engagement RPM electronically to the correct values first! This makes ALL the difference. I just had this done after having rough jumps/skids when starting in 1st gear or reversing and feeling the clutch not really engaging correctly. The...
