I think it was like $1300 or so in labor to wire up and mount everything. I ended up upgrading the front speakers myself about 6 months later which made a huge difference. I’d recommend doing that right off the bat. The only adverse effect is that you’ll discover minor rattles when the bass...

Not much to see really. It’s usually all covered up.

I can get a picture tomorrow when it’s light out. Honestly, there’s not much to see. I used one of those 10 inch JL audio thin line subs in a box that sits in the compartment under the trunk. Then I’ve got an audio control d6.1200 under a false floor in the cubby on the left side of the trunk...

I had La Jolla audio in San Diego do my install 4 years ago. It’s still going strong.

I’m pretty sure it’s coated leather. When I got my 2016 used, Tesla had put some awful shiny, greasy stuff all over everything, including the seats. I used 303 multi purpose cleaner and an actual scrub brush to get it all off. The amount of dirt that came off was amazing. I literally scrubbed...

Has anyone had any good experience with custom wheel / tire shops in San Diego? I have custom 21 inch wheels on my car but discount tire won’t touch the front tires due to the load rating being higher on the 19s that came with the car. (As stated by the door placard). It’s ironic because it’s...

Ah, so actually I agree with you on the magic eraser. That’s pretty abrasive and should be done with caution. That would be last on my list of things to try, if at all. A good horse hair brush really just agitates the cleaner to help lift the stain. Curious to see if he can get this out. Keep...

He should definitely start with that but if it’s not working then he won’t have much choice but to try other methods. I thought scrubbing leather seats was insane when I first read the article but it worked.

How aggressive did you get with the scrubbing? I clean my leather with 303 multi purpose cleaner and scrub the crap out of it to get all the grease and dirt off with a scrub brush. This article was very helpful (I am not affiliated) when I was trying to figure out how to clean a leather seat...

Those will look pretty flush. My +38s in the back with 3mm spacer are equivalent to +35 and it’s pretty flush as you can see. The +32 in front is way off though and not flush at all. I’m running Michelin pilot super sports

What do you guys do for tuning? I use an iPhone app but feel like it’s not very accurate. It was showing relatively flat without me doing much of anything.

That’s a nice clean install. Probably a good call replacing the tweeters too. I remember the drivers side A-pillar was difficult for me as well. I ended up just getting really annoyed and yanking it off with a quick pull. I was to the point where it was either going to release the clip or just...

I have an Audiocontrol d6.1200. I had an installer do the wiring for round 1 in which he tapped the front inputs from the foot well but he ran the outputs back through a separate speedwire. When I installed the hertz component set up front I had to rewire it since the tweeter and woofer are now...

Round 1 of my audio upgrade was close to that actually. At first I had my amp/DSP powering the OEM speakers plus a subwoofer. That held me over for a few months and was 10x better then stock, but I couldn’t get the tweeters to sound right no matter how much I messed with the EQ. My personal...

Have you considered just getting a pair of good two way components for the front? That would likely sound much better then the LH midbass/stock tweeter combo. I opted to leave both my center channel and rear speakers alone and just concentrate on the front speakers and a subwoofer.
