The passenger side has tons of room behind it, and the driver side pushes slightly against the CCF I have on the door.




Other than that, I have some Stereo Integrity TM65 mkIIs in the stock locations, and a 10" Sundown SD-3 in the passenger footwell, all being powered by an Alpine PDX-V9. It gets loud enough to completely drown out road and wind noise at 70 with the top down, but is smooth enough to think that you can talk over it...until you try.
Nice job on the install and brackets! There's no way that those NVX tweets will fit on the outside of the door skin without making the OEM grill larger to accommodate the larger NVX (SB29) chassis. The way you choose to do it is nice! Well done!

Respectfully...For reference the NVX tweeter and the Arc Audio Black tweeter are NOT the same tweeter.

This is the Arc Audio (SB26)... https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.co...weeter-4-ohms/

I lost about 6" of foot space total. I rarely have a passenger, and when I do they're typically short enough to not notice any difference.

Thanks.

You're right. I must've been thinking about a different Arc product being the same as something else.

Ought to tickle the toes, of barefoot passengers. My main co-pilot likes to shotgun... barefeet.
