Speaker installation in my FN1

At first, sorry for my english. I'm from Germany near Hannover.

I will try to describe you how I've installed my new speakers in my Type S.
Later I will add the installation of the subwoofer and amplifier in the boot cause the salesman haven't send the package with the sub & amp at the time.

Front system: Hertz Dieci DSK 165 2-way compo
Rear system: Hertz Dieci DCX 165 2-way coax
Subwoofer: Powerbass S-10
2-channel amplifier: µ-dimension 2075
High/Low Adapter: Helix AAC Active Controlled High-Low Converter

Aditionally I've installed 10 plates of bitumen (1,25m²). 8 pieces in the doors (1m²) and 2 in the rear (0,25m²).

furthermore I've needed:

Wood plate for the boot
MDF-plates for the sub-box
fleecemat for the sub-box
Connection terminal for the sub
Foam for the door and rear covering
Speaker cable for the High/Low Adapter
Many screws & nuts
Isolation tubes for the cables (to avoid rattling)
blade terminals/couplers
Heat shrink tube
MDF-adapters for the speaker chassis
paint/varnish to seal the MDF-adapters
Silicon bond for sealing the adapters

Needed tools:

Router
Drill
Hot air dryer
Electric tools...


Now to the pictures:

The door covering additionally insulated with some foam (to avoid rattling):

This was the task for about 3 days

The next pictures will follow when the absence components (sub/cables/amplifier...) arrive...

Greets, Andre
