Removing door panels/ color of the speaker wires

[Eric.S.]

Hello everyone Small question, has anyone already tried to dismantle the door panel or do you know what colours the cables from the speakers have? I would like to improve my sound system a little, I find the originals terrible... In the B column you would also have to get to the cables without dismantling the door panel? I just want to install a mini subwoofer under the driver's seat, the space should be enough If this question has already been asked, I apologise

Similar to what I am looking at, but with a amp.
Who did you go with for the install.

Drive Sound Moorooka. Used to be Northfield. Still owned by Drew that dates back to Northfield days. I dealt with Matt. I may still add an Audison DSP amp but impressed with the difference.

Thanks for the info.
I was looking at coax K2 Focals for the front doors, but the tweeters look pretty good from your pic, so may look at that.
Did you do the rear speakers also?

Drive sound quoted me for Coaxial focals at the rear and were going to install same day. Once they pulled out the stock fronts and had a look at the back they said the back are reasonable quality and money was better put towards an Amp. Stock speakers are ok they just needed to lift the sound stage in the front a little.

Not often you go to pay expecting a price to be told its actually cheaper as we didnt think it needed the extra we quoted... Highly recommend them for the quality install and honesty!

K2 tweeters have quite a bit of extra depth than the Flax evo. Be interesting to see if they fit depth wise. In saying that I have seen Audison tweeters mounted there (UK build) and they are quite thick also. Are you getting along to the SEQ get together? IG owners SEQ facebook page. If so I should be there and can show you.

Thanks again, I’ll look into speaker options a little more, hard to know what is going to fit until the door trims are pulled apart - interesting regarding the rear speakers though.

I did see pictures of the Audison ones installed - I didn’t like the look of them, yours look like they are meant to be there.

Not on Facebook, so not across the meet up.

Sunday 21st Jan at Carina Bowls club for a Brekkie catch up. I can get more details if interested.

Nice setup! I think I might do the same. Do you know where they installed the crossovers? Looks like it might be a tight fit in the doors. Thanks

They are in the door as far as I know.

Amazing work @ChaosDogg . Have you mounted the tweeters yet? If so, can you provide some pictures and advice on the best mounting location given your experience. Also, if you have pictures of the connections you made to the factory head unit that would also be greatly appreciated. How hard was it to remove the front center console to get to the head unit?

Thanks

Still haven't gotten around to mounting the tweeters - have been away from home. I didn't remove the console at all as that seemed like a recipe for disaster. I spliced the wires at the point where they head off into the door and ran those off to my amp.

Do you know if these guys do any custom fibreglass work? I'm looking to see if I could get a sub box made to take up all the space under the drivers seat.

Thanks for the info, appreciate it. Please post some pics once you mount the tweeters.

Quite possibly. Drew has been around forever. They have been behind many big builds since the 90's.

I'm not sure if any one has actually replaced the speakers at this point; I would suggest spending 5-10 minutes to pop each of the door panels off and perform a polarity test directly at the speakers. The clips that hold the door panel on are fairly universal, thus if you break one or a few, finding a generic replacement should be only an Amazon order away.

Any idea on the part number or cross reference for the door panel clips?

Unfortunately not... I think between the 4 doors I broke/lost 3-4, with no apparently looseness (this has been pretty standard on all my previous builds). I understand it isn't "right" or "perfect", but given that Ineos cross referenced clips aren't openly posted on Amazon, I'm living with it

Thanks! I need to pull the drivers door panel as I low speed vibration in the door that I need to get figured out so any pictures you have of the panel removed and location of the clips would be greatly appreciated. I just want to make sure I don’t break them on the way out.

I'll be pulling @Krabby 's (errr maybe I'll make him pop them off) this weekend and can take some photos for you

Thanks! I’ll take as many pics as you can send. Also - tired to get the clips from INEOS so I would have a couple extra, but they said there is not a separate part number. I feel confident that they are not specific to the IG, but just need to figure you where they came from so any pictures of the clips would be great so I can track down a cross reference on the part number.

I'll give it a go - I don't want all the pressure on you!

Any idea on the part number or cross reference for the door panel clips?

I asked a local dealer for trim clips and have not heard anything from them as yet. I broke a tan clip in the C pillar and checked with another dealer - these trim clips are part of the overall assembly and cannot be purchased individually - at this stage I would have to replace the entire C pillar trim at an eye watering cost of AUD575. I'm hoping that Ineos will rectify this and make these clips available as individual items.

I'm not saying this is the case with the door card clips but it could well be - here's hoping it's not as I'll be removing my rear door cards soon to install some speakers!

Interior Panel Clips - Part number or Cross Reference

Curious if anyone has found a part number or comparable replacement to the trim panel clips for the IG? I had to pull the B-pillar panel and despite being VER careful and using a trim panel tool, I broke 2 of them. Here are a couple pictures of the clips. Any help would be appreciated as the...
