½cwt Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 That head unit screen looks very reflective. Bright day, roof down, not easy to read I would imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not though unfortunately fitted very well. It is sitting a few mm out of the rain channel and water will get in there (unless he has the hard top on ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look, you can see the beading for circa 6 inches above the bodywork. Get the hose on there and be sure its not letting by. Hopefully it is all good.

Mattman42 Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) Looking good @Elmer Fudd, not seen those lower sills before, look a bit more sporty without being over the top. Looks like a clean car and can’t go wrong with a red interior! prefer the ambers myself on a 986, but the clears look good with the silver too Edited October 20, 2021 by Mattman42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was an older picture, the headlights now have the Amber indicators, apart from the side repeaters which are still clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see the gap, it should be tucked behind that. Edited October 22, 2021 by GmanB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interested in your views on how they sound mounted in the Bose shelf - have looked at that option before but wondered if the shelf design is too specific to Bose. Can you let me know which Focal kit or components you have used please? And if you have them, some photos of the tweeter install in the Bose shelf would be really helpful. Have you also upgraded the dash speakers and if so what brand/model did you use? Curious about the sub location (and brand/model) - where else did you consider putting it? Under the driver's seat for example? How have you approached the system's amplification? Looks like a lot of thought and effort has gone into the car as whole 👏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a lot of thought and effort has gone into the car as whole 👏 TBH it was kinda an experiment, like yourself I wasn't too sure how they would sound but I was pleasantly surprised! Really decent sound from a budget kit. I think keeping to the original setup of separate woofers and tweeters, with the addition of crossovers fitted in the enclosure, is the only way to go with the shelf. This kit fits easily using the same mounting holes for the woofers, and the tweeters come with little mounting pods, choice of three, I used the straight ones and they slot right into the original housing, you need to drill through for the cable, and I secured using hot glue, although you can use screws if you wish, sorry I haven't got any pic's.

The only other place to fit it would of been in the passenger foot well, and I didn't want it to be in the way of a good leg stretch 🤣 ...... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/352729430636?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=7101533165274578&mkcid=2&itemid=352729430636&targetid=4584826055637462&device=c&mktype=&googleloc=&poi=&campaignid=412354546&mkgroupid=1299623041023876&rlsatarget=pla-4584826055637462&abcId=9300541&merchantid=87779&msclkid=42a45a718b4f17a9f3e03b089ca516b5 Thinking about it I'm not sure I would buy that one again, maybe get a sub speaker and box it in myself, hay-ho. The amp I put under the seat Although I may move it as the seat touches it if you have it at it's lowest. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/352555046164 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
map Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 @Elmer Fudd - really appreciate you making the time to write such a full reply. Thank you. Now I know they fit and fit well I’ll add a similar setup to my own build in due course. Am a big fan of the Focal sound - recommended them to a friend who fitted them to his 996 and he loves them albeit he’s looking for more base - DJs, never happy. Think the dash mounts are from one of the members on this forum @SuperPaulie? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperPaulie Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 Yeah they are mine for sure 👍. I have my powered sub behind the passenger seat in a carpeted housing I made, no way it would go under the seat at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
