Not having any luck on the 165's. Went to E-bay, they have them new all day long for around 300.00. That's what I think I paid for mine (Ballpark) Sending you pictures of the fours and tweeters.
I think the fours are 140's not sure. I know they were very difficult to get seperate. I know what you mean about the Quart tweeters, a little BRIGHT. Still doing measurements in the trunk. I was looking at the side panels in case I decided to redo them. Doesn't look that difficult. I'm thinking about putting a 1 farad stiff cap by the Jack, looks like plenty of room. Only want to see fused dist block in back and amps. Trying to save that trunk space. What did you think about my idea of filling around the gas tank with fiber fill. Thought it might control that free air driver some. Of course I will have 250 watts of power going to it. Sure could use some pre-assembly picks. I know, you too.

When I get a chance, i'll post some of my F-body pics, Shane. I've never used e-bay once, but I guess it's time to check it out for the Focals. Ordered the Vigilante converter today, and joined forces with lexussc400.com, i'll be representing them on the East Coast. Okay, your turn, fork over the door enclosure pics, hope your dig cam has good zoom...

You want to be mad now or later. Dig camera has bit the dust. Thought it was batteries, oh no, dead. Finished drivers side door this weekend. Starting on the wiring Friday. Have a couple of questions for you. When you ran RCA's, did you run them down the side of passenger door, or did you take the seat out and run by the console. Second question, on the power wire coming thru the firewall, where did he drill the hole?? Looked for existing grommet, but couldn't find one. Have amp rack all cut out. Your pic's were very helpful. If you hadn't mounted anything on the side panels, do you think you would have replaced them??. Also, when you recarpeted panels to match rack, did the carpet stick to the existing Lexus carpet okay??. Sorry so many questions, just trying to save some headaches.

Do you have a scanner, so u can take some pics with a 35mm or APS and scan them through? Dyin' for those door enclosure pics, need to know how far down to trim the lip, what shape to cut the MDF to, etc.
Ran the interconnects on the pass side, along the door sill area, between the seat and the actual sill, didn't have to remove the seat. Ran my DSP wiring and the harness for the CVA subprocessor in the console, and on down to underneath the pass seat. Drill a hole in the driver side firewall, in the very corner, behind the brake fluid reservoir. I routed my 4AWG along the bottom of the inner fender, and up to the firewall, away from any heat or possible source of noise, and well-loomed. I definitely would not have touched the side panels if I wasn't mounting components there, it was a major pain getting them to flush-mount, there's virtually no room for error. As a matter of fact, I plan to re-install the entire system (even though I just finished it) so that I can construct a lightweight, easily removable rack containing all the components, I don't want to lug my amps and some MDF down the track. I had to hand-build the panel against the taillights, but the carpeting stuck to the original panel very well with 3M heavy duty and super duty spray adhesive (one lays on totally different than the other, I used both). Here's pics of some of the cars i've built, as promised, plus i'll try to find some pics at the track if I can.
