Kenwood KFC-P603 Speaker Upgrade

I decided that the factory speaker's in my Honda Insight sucked really bad (don't all factory speakers?????) so I purchases the above model from crutchfield.com, and basically this is how I installed them. While this might not be to interesting to most people (since I'm the only one I know who owns an Insight) the basic principles remain the same and can be used in other cars.

So on with the fun:

Speaker specs:

-pearl mica injection-molded polypropylene woofer with rubber surround -PEI balanced dome tweeter -sensitivity 91 dB -frequency response 35-32,000 Hz -recommended power range 8-50 watts RMS -peak power handling 170 watts - woofer top mount depth 2-1/16"

The Installation:

Well, first I had to remove the door, due to the depth of the new speakers being greater than the current speaker's. So there are a total of 6screws to remove in order to do that. As you can see the first 3 pics above show the door and close ups of areas. 3 of the screws are in the speaker well, after you remove the existing factory speaker. Two are hidden in both ends of the arm rest grip. Just pop the cap off, it should be real easy. And the last one is hidden behind the door handle, I recommend using a precision screwdriver to move the "cap" while you unscrew it. All screws just require a #2 phillips anyways. Once you have done that just wiggle your fingers underneath at the bottom where the plastic meets the metal and slowly pry off. NOTE: The top of the door panel actually rests on a lip, so once you pop out the top, and remove the screws you should just "lift" it off the lip. Assuming you have removed the door handle/electric door lock panel (which required me to disconnec the door handle acuator rod inside, but wasn't hard to do at all. Once you've done that you see the inside of the door in the last two pics.

Now that we've removed the panel, you can see how the speaker well slopes inward, thereby forcing me to do all of this anways. So what I did is used my swiss army knife and cut out the well, where it meet the main panel (the plateu with the white foam stripping on it) and then used 2 mil plastic sheeting to create a more flexable version. I adhered it with super windshield adhesive. The main point of this, and the speaker well its self, it to keep water off the speaker's cone and prevent damage.

The first pic is of the tweeter and included hard ware. I decided on the angle mount solution, then next two pics show how I attached it to the "sail" panel and how it looked in place. The last pic shows how I mounted the crossover unit onto the door itself.

Here is one final pic of my setup of the inside of the door panel. Then I put everything in place, connected the wires, and VOILA! As you can see, except for the itsy bitsy tweeter you can't even tell the difference between my final pic and my first one.

PS:

Here's the door speaker wiring codes, for some reason they took me forever to find on the net:

Drivers Front Speaker (+) GREEN/BLACK

Drivers Front Speaker (-) L GREEN

Passengers Front Speaker (+)GREEN/YELLOW

Passengers Front Speaker (-) GRAY/RED
