so, seems like a spacer could be crafted to make a better speaker (is go with the focals) fit. I'd be designing and 3D printing the spacer (see my other thread).

Would it be worth the upgrade?
Remove the speaker, ggabriele, and take note of the small 'cup' beneath the OEM speaker's magnet structure. Anything aftermarket with a decent-sized magnet likely wouldn't fit with the proper clearance, even with a spacer. Basically, one would need to carve out the cup, then figure out how to isolate the speaker enough to get decent sound out of it.

The exception to this that I've seen is the BAVsound driver for the F30. I'm not sure that it's a drop-in fit for the F22, though. From what I've heard, the dimensions are slightly different.
