Default 00 door speakers

Will the kappa perfect 6.5s fit in an 00 model?
Also, since the 00 model does not leave a spot available for tweeters...how difficult/easy is it to install tweeters.

If it is possible, could I see a couple pictures of 00 model installs. Thankyou

For the woofer you will either have to cut the stock basket, buy and adapter from Lucid or make one out of 3/4" MDF...

Here's how I'm mounting my tweeters (still working on it)




Can be completely returned to stock in seconds.

awesome slidin. May be doing that very soon.

Any other tweeter modifications? I saw one person who put them near the door speaker. Had them mounted in the door(must of cut hole). Does this kind of defeat the purpose of getting components? Isnt the point to get sound(highs) from a seperate location...or is it that coaxals just dont sound as good.

Yes, you want to seperate the tweeter from the woofer.

as a general rule, you want your tweeter close to your woofer.
that said, since higher frequencies are highly directional and
easily blocked, in the s2000 that results in highs blocked by your
leg, and a very low soundstage. raising the tweeter above the
woofer improves both of those.
you may have looked already, but in the "install pictures" thread
up top there are various pictures.

I offer a a-piller molding service. Here's what they look like molded:






Looks like stock. This is a great option as long as you can tune it properly. Which most higher end gear can be.
