So how much clearance does that give you? And i assume you've test fit the door panel back on with the speaker mounted? That spot looks perfect for something like the eD EU-700 mid (3.7" depth) playing up to maybe 300HZ on an active X-over and a nice set of 4.5" components in the other locations.

That was just an example of the spacers you would need to install some deeper speakers.

Nice find. I wonder if the tweeters have a variable loudness selector. I have that on my Type R setup and love it. I can adjust the tweeters so they are not over powering my mids right on the crossover. This looks to be decent plug and play upgrade. One of my installers and I tuned my set up finally with the center channel from Alpine. We sat in the car for about 30 min afterwards watching the last fight scene from Top Gun. It was rather Amazing sounding with all the speakers in the car. I am sitting with the Type R 6 1/2 seperate components in the doors. The Pioneer 4" mid in the doors. Alpine center channel right below the deck. Factory in the rear. Two Type R 10" in the hatch. Running a Alpine 4 channel for the front doors and center speaker. Two Mono 600 watt amps for the 10" subs. It sounds sweet!!! This car has great potential for a killer sounding system. Right now I will probably watch movies on lunch out in my car at work.

I posted pics somewere else on here.
Its an ok set but expensive for what it is imho.
It also took a bit of angle adjsutment to get the tweeter to sound right. The 2 crossover boxes per door is a pain too.

Before I start screwing things up on a Brand New Car, is there a bar for the handle to open the door behind the panel? Or does the whole thing just pop off?

AJW, I've found a place which sells the Rainbow 3 way system for our Golf in Sydney, they're called Precision Installations (http://www.precisioninstallations.com.au/). I was talking to the Australian distributor on another forum and I'll probably be going to check it out in the next couple weeks. I'll let you know how it goes as Im trying to get them to hook it up so that I can have a listen. The RRP for the 3 ways is $795 AUD.
