What size wire was stock, could you guess?

Was there a reason you replaced the grill or was it just to show the focal name?

How much did that cost for the matting, assuming you installed yourself?

What are the size or model # of those Focal Dash tweeters? They seem to fit in the housing extremely well!!!

I believe that stock wiring is 18AWG but it is a low strand count and therefore less desirable for higher power audio transmission.
As for the grills just wanted to customize a little but look somewhat stock.
Fatmat was $100 for 100 square feet and yes I did do it my self so no additional cost.
Front speakers are focal 165v2s and the tweeters are 1.75" which I believe is standard for their two way component systems.

How much weight does the matting add? I'd heard that Dynamat was quite heavy but not sure if that's normal for sound mats.

I think a 100 square ft roll is around 30lbs.
