focal speaker install thread
I'm new to this forum and looked at a thread that had information and pics of a focal speaker install. I tried to find it again but have not been able to locate. Can anyone help out with this. I'm looking at installing an complete sytem but wanted to get some advice and ideas first. Thanks.

I bought a 2012 rubicon with the infinity system but not happy with the sound. I bought a pair of polk db651 and installed in the sound bar but just a slight improvement. I'm looking at upgrading the front and rear speakers with focal and also a focal amp. I want to keep the head unit (730n RHR) and don't mind the sub. Any recommendations?

I did a set of coaxial Focal 6.5" in the sound bar and 6.5" component Focals in the dash. The 1" tweeters required very little trimming to fit in the stock enclosures. I like the JL amps more than the focal so I did a 700/5 under the front seat. I also did a JL 10" sub and enclosure.

getting outputs is the hard part i suggest getting the "v4 lockpick" or may be the 3sixty . 3 fro rocker fosgate but tthat means you have to keep the oem amp

I did not keep the stock head unit as I wanted to add navigation, backup camera and DVD capabilities so I put in a Kenwood DNX6180.
Here is a picture of how the tweeters look as for the 6.5" mid base it looks stock from the outside of the dash. I also ran all new wire for the speakers and the sub. 14 AWG for the mids and tweeters and 12 AWG for the sub.
these are a couple of pics of the sound bar grills before and after.
And to top it all off I put down FatMat throughout the vehicle.

I did not take any before and after decibel readings however everyone in the family says it is way quieter inside. I have to agree as well and it made rewiring very simple.
