Excellent install! I like how you integrated the JPM Coachworks panel and the grill ring. Detail work is solid too (see: locking RCAs with multicolored sleeving and heatshrink).

DLS Ultimate amps are not cheap either. I imagine it sounds as good as it looks.

What speakers are in the door and dash?

Thanks, I am using DLS complete, so I have a DLS Gothia 6.2 and the DLS UP4 midrange speaker.
And the price ... the ultimate series is the best you can get for that money. The A7 (a five channel amp) costs here in Europe 1000€. Comparable amplifier will costs around 2000€ and more. But DLS will come with a new Ultimate series, with new prices (they will be worth it, but they will be much more expensive :( )

Nice install. EMMA? A friend of mine was competing at the weekend and came 5th overall in master unlimited IIRC.

I've got some Nordica 6.2's going in the front of mine.

Jep EMMA
Made 2nd Place on the German finals last Weekend (Expert 6000).
I hope you enjoy the Nordica, bu give them some time. Mine started after 2 week to produce better sound

You suck ( :) ). That is exactly how I was planning on mounting my front speakers if I ever decide on a brand. Of course mine will be on a much tighter budget.
Beautiful install. Nice to see my idea for the bass drivers will work. Always good when someone else tests the theory for you. Thanks.

Oh they are used, so have been broken in already. From Team UK :)

Do you know Nige/Andy?

Andy, yes ... met him on some events. I think he is still in my class, so this year will be a nice competion. I hope this time I will beat him ;)

Look like normal EUDM ones to me.

Ha, lol ... the panel of the midrange speaker (the one on the dashboard)? Made by myself. The one in the door? OEM with some mods

Have you found any combing issues with the cone mid-range where it is?

The door panel looks like the speaker was mounted to it then the panel was re-installed. I was going to go that route and sound deaden the hell out of the back of the panel and the door.
The tweeters I end up with probably won't have the fancy enclosure that yours do so I would use the plumbing supply trick to make some, but the end result will be the same as far as installation is concerned. Obviously not the same caliber of speakers though :( .

With the tweeter, there are so much guides who to made a nice an simple housing for it. So do not worry.
The doorpanel is work than you expect ... Take a look here

Sorry? what do you mean by combing issues? I do not understand
