Well it's about that time to tackle the stereo and dynamat the firewall behind the seats.
I am going all out and upgrading the Stereo components and speakers; my experience and knowledge with audio allows me to tackle this project.
I am attempting to change the 4" speakers to the 5.25" speakers in the front and in the rears; we will see how this goes. I received the 3d printed files and found someone local in the area to print them; hopefully we can figure this out and make some modifications in order to make them fit. If anyone would like the 5.25" rings to to upgrade from the 4" speakers they are $50 for the set of four.
The Clarion 2510 amp is a 5 channel compact lightweight amp which powers 4 x 50w for the fronts and rears and 200w rms for the sub combined all in one so you don't need a second amp solely for a the sub.
Also going to upgrade the subwoofer in the existing location; just need to figure out how to mount a new one into the existing location. Hopefully i'll post pictures when everything is completed.
I went with the top of the line everything for the years to come; they have stronger or more expensive focal speakers but these are absolutely perfect for staying in the 50w max as the others output more such as 60w-80w
Sound difference - Video
Can't really tell in video but definitely an improvement; also applying 1/4 layer of dynaliner to the back wall over the dynamat so once the carpet is back on should greatly improve.
