07+ Door Speakers

[Chris Kulbaba]

Does one have to take off the entire door panel on these new model ST's or does that one panel around the speaker come off separately?



Thanks!

 

[Dingo]

Whole door panel.

 

[Chris Kulbaba]

Thanks Dingo!

It's pretty easy. 2 trim pieces, 6 screws and lift.

On the back, 3 trim pieces, 6 screws, and lift.

 

[Chris Kulbaba]

Sounds good, sounds like my first gen. I was just thinking it could have been done with the one panel, but that would be too user friendly I should have known better :\

 

[Dingo]

Uh, I can change all four in under ten minutes. It's pretty user friendly.

 

[Scott Doughtie]

Yep. I changed my speakers out last spring. Was a cinch.

What speakers did you get ?

 

[Chris Kulbaba]

I haven't yet.



Im not worried about it, it was just something that came to mind when I see the lines on the door panel, almost looks like thats what they did.



Im working on a sub... I might end up cutting my back seat again to fit a larger ported box. Im in love with the JL W7 series I have in my Gen1, but almost want to try something more SQ orientated this time around, maybe something from Image Dynamics.



This vehicle is a pain to get any big enclosure into But so was my first one.



Where are the speaker signals crossed over, the headunit? Anyone have a complete diagram of the Nav system wiring? Including colors of wires, etc?

What speakers does everyone recommend?

 

[Dingo]

I'm running Boston Acoustics SL80s.

I'm secretly having an affair with them. I'm in love.

andy,

do you still have the stock radio with those aftermarket speakers?

 

[Dingo]

Yes and no.



I'm using the stock radio, but it's not pushing the speakers.

 

[gary s]

imo, the stock radio (premium) sounds great.

 

[Dingo]

I agree, but it doesn't have enough power.

 

[Chris Kulbaba]

I think im going to try to get some 6.5" components in there.

 

[Dingo]

Mine are 6.5" component plates.

 

[Aaron Yarbough]

When I eventually replace mine I'm going with the Boston Acoustic SL80s also.....

 

[Chris Kulbaba]

What is the max mounting depth that someone could put in the 07 ST's?

 

[Dingo]

Pretty deep. I'd say at least 3 inches.
