[s-cars] Re: front speaker upgrade

[Tim Sexton]

Hi Ray,
	I installed 5.25 components in the front doors of my 94 S4.  I didn't need an adapter ring, I just made some brackets
that came with the component set.  It really wasn't that difficult, and the results are phenomenal.
HTH,

Hi gang,

I'm designing my stereo install, and quickly pulled the driver's front
door to survey mounting options for something other than the stock 4"
sparkomatics, er, Bose units.  I love the nice foam tweeter installed
behind the stock tweeter grille location.  Very impressive - must be
some fancy infrared design that I am unfamiliar with.  The phase and
alignment are truly in harmony.

Two quick questions.  For those who have uprated the front 4" speakers
to a 5.25" in the stock location . . .

1.  Did you use the MB Quart adaptor ring made for the A4's, and, if
so
2.  What is the MB Quart part number?

Ok, make that 3 questions:

3.  Has anyone installed a 6.5" in the door below the armrest without
compromising too much of the impact support or using a spacer, or
otherwise build a pod?
