Love to see this! By the way, I was away traveling for the beginning of the fall and am back now with everything available to sell if anyone needs anything. I even managed to find the correct center tweeter plug from a Chinese manufacturer and have a quantity that should last for many orders...

I am having a difficult time finding a place to order that BMW part from, but I would love to be able to use that as well. Do you have a good source or distributor for it? Also, I checked out your website for the parts and it looks great! Very nice work on everything. Thanks :) -DJ

Hey! From my fairly well researched understanding of this, while ABS and PETG are different in some ways, they are going to have pretty similar characteristics in the ways that matter for this sort of project. As a reference, ABS is the most commonly use plastic in automobile components in...

Hello, Everyone! This is a post that I want to make into a sticky, but I am not sure how to go about that. If someone knows, please let me know. I am going to summarize the state of everything for installation of aftermarket speakers in the Tesla Model 3 with Premium sound as best as I can...

In truth, I'm not sure of what benefit there would be either way. I have some solid understanding of the concepts involved with speakers and related electronics, but precious little experience actually playing with them. So it's likely some capacitor would provide a better balance, but I did...

I just want to update everyone. I have finished the install on my car, as well as the video editing and posted the install video on my website (www.audioliphe.com). The Focal woofers are like having two subwoofers in your doors.....it's kind of crazy! lol So I turned my EQ settings to drop...

Update for everyone. I was planning to have the install recorded this last week, but I am waiting on the Yazaki plugs, which I have ordered last week, to arrive so I can do the install with them. Of course I can just solder the speaker wires to the Tesla, but I want to test the plugs and be...

I would love to also know the connectors you used in the photo for the tweeters, both the doors and the mid. I have NOT been able to find those nor the green ones in the doors at all. I even talked with the techs at Mouser.com who told me that they have never seen anything like the door plug...

On this topic, I am willing to wade through and create a summary for this thread, because I have read the whole thing already and I have a pretty good idea of the state of everything. I should have the install videos done in the near future, as well as proper pins and parts available for the...

That's a solid idea, though it would likely be more obnoxious for printing unless you have 2 individual print heads to do it. What I am doing, and I think is easier, is just to purchase self-adhesive speaker foam (foam tape) and form it around the bracket base before installing. I also intend...

I print the bracket in two parts, as it sound like you did, and what I changed was to simply cut the top 1mm off the entire top of the ring of the major base assembly. Basically, I left the top speaker rim part alone as it already stands, but shortened the cylinder of the base part just...

Just as an FYI for anyone doing this project, we have another thread regarding all the front speakers here: Brackets to install Aftermarket Speakers in Model 3 And there are some fairly drop-in options if you use specific speakers with adapter brackets. I have them posted as STL so you can...

I haven't installed them in my car yet (though I have tested fitment and they do work) because I lost my screws for the woofer somewhere in the house over the past several months..... so that's sad and I will have to ask Tesla how to get new ones (because I cannot seem to match them to any...

Hello, everyone! I feel a bit bad for my extended absence from the forum. I was just busy with winter life up here, but things have warmed up and I am back at it all, despite the new pandemic, just to keep things weird. I am very happy to see so many people have jumped on the idea of...

Hello, all! I have finally gotten back to things after the holidays and have learned some lofting and a bit more skill in 3D modeling in general. So, I have updated the model with all the modifcations that I wrote down when I last tested the brackets and so have yet another prototype iteration...

Hello, All! I had not posted here because I don't have a finished product to post and life has been busy for me in many ways over the past few months. My job is heavily related to the school year so things are really filling up my schedule. I started teaching myself lofting and sculpting...

By the way, do you have a direct ink to those speaker plugs? I would love to have access to those to either direct people to them or to use those to build cables instead of soldering. :)

Thanks! The problem is indeed the bottom of the cylinder. So your solution is correct. I believe that taking the cylinder and narrowing it toward the bottom and middle, and then expanding toward the speaker itself, is the correct way to go. The problem is that, I believe, that involves a...

That's great news. Honestly, I hate making the cables lol. The soldering is really awkward will all that delicate plastic around, since I don't have a proper "workshop". so I am hopeful that this will provide a better alternative. The brackets are mostly just printer work, so that's...

Hello, All! Yes, update on the woofers. Good and Bad news. The good news is that I took the door apart again and tested the prototype out, and most of it is exactly right. The bad news is that there is one problem that I do not know if I can fix without rebuilding the bracket from the ground...

That part I have already done. I bought the drivers long ago when flashflooder was explaining his setup to everyone. The driver fits great, and the base fits the car well too, I printed off my Prototype 2 days ago and it looks good, but I will just have to test it out when I can. Maybe I can...

Sounds good. Does anyone want to test the bracket sizing? I can post up the STL for the bracket (It is very big. I am printing it on a Prusa Mk3s and have sized it to the maximum printing area). I can also print it off and ship it to someone who has a little free time. I will get to testing...

@groovyd @flashflooder I do have a prototype STL that I believe should work for the ISU 200. I have not tested it yet, but I all the measurements are correct, as best I can tell, and so it *might* actually be ready. If the measurements are slightly off i can adjust them within minutes, so the...

Drizzle, as best I can tell the specs are identical between 4022cfx and the 4032cfx, but I have NOT looked deeply into them. My thoughts are that they are probably practically the same, and indeed the dimensions seem the same, but maybe Infinity just relaunched an updated product line to give...

The website is www.audioliphe.com and everything is posted there, including the STL files if you would rather print yourself. The speakers we have so far built for are the Infinity 4032cfx midrange and the Focal TWU 1.5 Tweeters. This is because of the sensitivity and low cost, and good...

I will offer my opinion, but certainly see what others think. The speakers chosen for this particular thread (so far, though others may pop in over time) are specifically chosen for their high sensitivity, and I honestly think they are louder at the same volume levels than stock. So very good...

@groovyd Thank you for all your suggestions! I just posted the edited setup and install videos on the website (new "Installation" link in the Navigation). I feel badly that it took so long to get them up and edited; I've had to learn how to edit videos from scratch basically, so it took some...

For everyone: This is a brief list of the materials I needed to install everything. Absolutely Necessary stuff: Ultra low profile torx t20 rachet. Vinyl Electrical tape small electronics flathead screwdriver (or an eyeglass screwdriver) needle-nose pliers Trim removal tools Useful stuff: Wire...

@groovyd I shipped the tweeter this morning via priority mail so you should have eveything with 2 day shipping.

I have everything ready to ship, and I agree with your thought to solder the connectors if you feel comfy doing some soldering. I personally always solder unless I really feel I won't need to for some application. So, I can ship the tweeter with the rest of the stuff if you want. I bought the...

No worries! I will hold on to them then and just let me know if you ever want the tweaked midrange set. I am happy to send it to you. You're welcome. The project has been taking all my free time for more than a month lol, but the end is in sight! Just the door woofers to finish.

@groovyd That rolling bit sounds super obnoxious. I am sorry that the first run was so tough....it was for me too without the correct wrench. I don't know what the pop might be, but I would also just check the blade connectors too to be safe. I have noticed that they can come loose if they...

Yes I am happy to do that for you. Could you PM me exactly what you need? That way I can keep organized! If you are looking for his door woofer brackets, printed, keep in mind that those are massive print jobs (20+ hours per speaker!!) so it might take several days as I have to use the...

Hello again all! After a few more days away, I have accomplished a lot. I officially shot a full video of the entire install for all 3 tweeters and midrange speakers, including set up with brackets, solder, crimping, and taping, and then I shot video of taking the dash apart, install, and...

Also, as a side note. I just modified and printed successfully Travis' 8" woofer brackets for the door, so I have them physically and can modify them easily now. Just have to take the door apart and get to testing!

Hey all! Sorry to leave you hanging for a couple days. I have done a few big things on this in the midst of my other work and projects, and was going to do my video on Friday last week, but with groovyd having some trouble with the middle dash speaker, I decided to try something slightly...

By the way, for everyone's knowledge, the wrench I bought is the MulWark 19pc mini rachet screwdriver. I found it on a certain very popular "bookstore" website that you all know and love. The set is overkill, because you don't need all the bits they provide, but it include the t20 you will...

@groovyd Thanks for the advice! I think I probably will look to add foam gaskets to the kit, because it would be nice either way. I don't think I can really make the brackets much thicker, or I worry about clearance issues on the top.... but I may push the limits if I find the center speaker...

@groovyd Glad you managed to get all in ultimately. I didn't have quite as much trouble, and I think a big reason for that is that I bought an ultra-low profile t20 torx wrench with a magentic end. I had tried to remove the speakers without that the first time and hated my life for a couple...

I apologize about the blade connectors being so tight. They really are! They come quite tight from the manufacturer and I very slowly wiggle them onto the speakers. You could also try using a small flathead screwdriver and prying the blade tabs open just a little to make them looser. The...

I'd also like to see if anyone on the thread here has solidworks available to them. The bracket that Travis built for the ISU 200 is a sldprt file and I cannot open it!! If I could get it converted to a more open CAD format (Not STL) then I could more easily modify it. I'm using FreeCAD right...

Is the issue with the Morels that the door plastic interferes because the Morel is too wide in diameter? That's the piece I am somewhat worried about with the Focals, as I am willing to drop to the smaller Focals if it is really necessary.

That's awesome; definitely keep us posted!

This is just a super quick post to try to get the bracket guidance up for those who will be getting their brackets tomorrow or the day after. I am posting a few photos of the bracket correctly attached to the Infinity speaker with the zip ties. I hope it explains fairly clearly the...

The tweeters are purchasable independently of the kit, but they only come in pairs. They are the TWU 1.5 tweeters from Focal. I just purchased a set from which I only need one tweeter, so if anyone wants to split the cost in half, I would send over the second one. I have the same deal for a...

Does anyone have any interest in splitting a pack of of Infinity 4032 speakers and a pack of focal TWU 1.5 tweeters? I only need 3 of them (because Tesla has the weird 3rd set of speakers in the center of the dash), but they all come in pairs!

Love it! To those who ordered already: First thanks so much! Second, I am going to take photos of the way to use the brackets correctly by Thursday. I apologize for the lack of helpful photos/video for them yet; just have been trying to get them available first. In an ideal world, I would...

Thanks so much for checking that out! I spent some time today trying to plate the STL on my print bed, but it's just slightly too big so I am going to have to figure out a way to shave a bit off the 3D model first....probably won't have time to do it this week, though, but we shall see...

Also, as promised, here is the STL for the prototype woofer bracket for the ISU-200. I have NOT tested this yet, and, though it should fit the car and the speaker, I do not yet know about the door sleeve part. If you are inclined to print an test it, please let us know everything you can about...

By the way, to all of you interested in the woofer brackets, specifically @alexcimorelli @Nocturnal, and others.... I was able to find an incredible human being who did a full rebuild of the audio system on his own and posted his work on his blog (Tesla Model 3 Stereo - Part 9: Summary and...
