    It was a trial and error until I got the sound I Like. All doors were sound deadened with Killmat (
    ). NVX FRING65 adhesive foam ring kt were installed as well on each door speaker.

    Trial 1: Improves clarity but a poor front stage.
    Powered by: Head unit only
    Dash - JBL CLUB3020 3.5"
    Front door - Stock speaker
    Rear door - Stock speaker

    Trial 2: Clear and smooth high still lacks soundstage/imaging. Decent bass on front and rear door speakers, cleaner and louder than stock.
    Powered by: Head unit only
    Dash - Kenwood eXcelon KFC-X3C 3.5 in
    Front door - Kenwood KFC-1796PS
    Rear door - Kenwood KFC-1796PS

    Trial 3: Great bass from the front and rear door speakers, cleaner and louder.. Clear and smooth highs, still lack soundstage/imaging.
    Powered by: Head unit only
    Dash - Kenwood eXcelon KFC-X3C 3.5 in
    Front door - Morel Maximo Ultra Coax 602 MKII
    Rear door - Morel Maximo Ultra Coax 602 MKII


    Trial 4: Perfect soundstage/imaging with crisp and smooth not fatiguing highs, great mids, punchy and tight bass after after setting time alignment and input EQ on DSP.
    Powered by: Audiocontrol ACM 4.300 50W x 4 (under driver's seat)
    Sound Processor: CDSP 6x8 (under the front passenger seat) - taken from my old car
    Front door/Dash: Morel Tempo Ultra 602 MKII Tempo Ultra Series 6-1/2" component speaker system - taken from my old car.
    Rear door: Morel Maximo Ultra Coax 602 MKII
    Amplifier and DSP were installed in the car audio shop.
