Upgrade stock Speakers
I just upgraded the stock speakers in the door and rear deck. I put in Focal ISC 100 speakers. The only thing the installer had to do is build a spacer kit for the doors since the Focal's are more than twice as deep as the stock speaker.
Wow, what a difference. It sounds muck livelier and fuller than the HK system and now has excellent base. I couldn't be happier. And it costs much less than the HK upgrade. |

Are the rear deck speakers the same size as the ones in the doors ?
Just curious... I am also wondering how to increase the overall volume output of the stock system - I am sure that it's not as loud as the E82 stock system.

To increase the overall volume you would need to buy a new amp. But I have tons of volume. |

Any idea how much power the stock system is running ? And what do you mean by spacer kit ? Just want to make sure I understand you correctly ? Thanks for the help too.

I don't know what the output of the stock amp is. Maybe someone else does.

By the way, the Focal's include a tweeter with each speaker. So I now have 12 speakers like the HK system. |
