What did you do to your FL5 today?

[us17094]

What did you swap to? Been looking at this from Audiofrog, can be wired to be 1ohm, and there are a couple of positive reviews from people with an FL5.

Oh, that was the actual speaker in his post! Totally blanked on it, when reading. Thanks.

Correct - I highly recommend using a cheaper driver for subwoofer replacement unless you are amping. The ROI just isn't there using the stock electronics. For the price of that AF driver you could replace all the other speakers pretty much and get a lot better SQ for the dollar. The RF Punch I had previously in the box didn't sound any better than the Recoil, IMO due to the electronics driving everything.

IMO - in this order: Front Door (only 2ohm speaker), Front Tweeter, Rear Door, Rear Tweeter. Center Dash and Subwoofer (1ohm) are small gains and I would venture can be skipped or inexpensive drivers used. Rear hatch speakers are an absolute "don't bother".

Excuse the dust and crappy pics. I've been doing the installs in my freezing garage here in Upstate NY. I installed the PRL Wing Risers and did the rear wiper delete. For those who plan to do the risers or a different wing, I suggest using a magnetic socket. I also stuffed a rag in the hatch in case a bolt fell. I read stories on here if guys losing bolts into the hatch and I didn't want to take any chances.

Installed my front splitter from artwork bodyshop, asked them reduce the sides by an inch to make it more flush with the bumper.

I understand the DE5 shift knob hate, but hate for the black Type R mats?!

Agreed w/ Clark!!

are those the black high wall mats, why are they hating on those? I love mine. I have the red underneath all mats except the driver..... for those improtu pull ups.

The black mats break up all the bright red in my opinion.

Idk why the hate on the DE5 Knob! It matches perfectly. The OEM knob sticks out like a sore thumb.

 

[NeRO_CTR]

I don't hate it....but, that's a lanslide disdain for it. LOL

 

[Nanook]

Not gonna lie. It’s a harsh contrast between boost blue and Type R red. I like the black carpet. Tones down that blaring contrast.

I was just on their site the other day, wondering if they'd shorten the sides. Any more pictures, head on?
