T5 Speaker System Upgrade

 

I'm thinking I may go for something to replace the original head unit & looking for something with Bluetooth & SatNav etc, possibly a Kenwood jobbie. I'm sure I stumbled on a thread on here sometime from someone who's gone down this particular route, but I'm darned if I can find it!!

 

Anyone got any thoughts on any of this? Got bleeding stumps instead of fingers now from typing too much.. 

I think you need a spacer for the speaker in the door. The tweeter's where set into the door by the handle and the sub was fitted to the base off the double passenger's seat. My speaker's sit behind the the grey door panels and have not been cut. The speaker grills on the dash don't have any speakers fitted when I purchased my van from new. I was thinking about adding some smaller speakers but it all could be a bit much sound wise. My speakers where fitted by the car audio company I purchased the speakers from and they did a really good job. 

As far as the head unit goes theres not a lot of room behind it, so i found it easier to remove the glove compartment to get a bit more room to work.

 

Got any model no.s

 

It's on the Wish List, though.

I just took the cable behind the glovebox and exited out by the grill covering the tweeter at the front of the dash. There's a gap between front of dash and base of windscreen where the cable can lie until the point where you decide to mount the antennae. My antennae was then just stuck to the dash, close the base of the windscreen, on the nearside quarter.

 

The microphone cable for the bluetooth ran the same way, then up the A post trim cover, along the top edge of the screen/headlining then the mic is clipped to where my rear view mirror would have been.
