I'll probably look into some component systems and mount the tweeters on top of the speaker grilles. I'll report back once it happens.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13917701626813682468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-396160690189969206.post-15271143585561814352017-09-16T09:38:29.777-04:002017-09-16T09:38:29.777-04:00Hi - They are Focal 100CVX.

I got them here: <br />http://www.woofersetc.com/c-172-speakers/c-9-coaxial-speakers/c-45-4/p-6581-100cvx-focal-4-polyglass-coaxial-speakers.html<br /><br />They are a bit of a squeeze into the factory speaker cutouts on top of the dash as I recall, mainly because they are deeper than most speakers. But they will go in with a bit of maneuvering. <br /><br />I used the stock factory speaker grilles. They work, although in my car, there is a bit of 'curve' in the grilles now due to the tweeter in the speaker pushing the grill up. It's possible to easily remedy this but cutting back some of the plastic 'rib' on the grilles, but I didn't bother. They look fine. Only you will know!<br /><br />As for the sound, it's wonderful. I really wanted more clarity and headroom, and I have that. The amp is plenty powerful. I listen to classical music primarily and there is a great amount of clarity and detail. Things like solo piano is very clear - on a good recording you can hear all sorts of 'growl' in the bass and hammer striking on treble.<br /><br />On things like cymbals and bells on orchestra music, there is a wonderful clarity and airiness.<br /><br />My system goes down to about 60Hz. Not a lot of bass, but it's fine for me. I've considered a subwoofer, but I think it's overkill. This isn't a home system, it's still a car and there are compromises. But overall, I am very happy!Yr Fthfl Blggrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01219471569230180465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-396160690189969206.post-65937617226310226402017-09-15T07:21:14.022-04:002017-09-15T07:21:14.022-04:00Hi, which Focal speakers did you exactly?

And finally, what your impressions of the system? :)<br /><br />I was planning to install something very similar!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13917701626813682468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-396160690189969206.post-62428848626806996332015-01-31T16:10:52.298-05:002015-01-31T16:10:52.298-05:00It's like reading ancient Greek poetry - I don...It's like reading ancient Greek poetry - I don't understand anything but still it's vaguely beautiful and captivating.
