I made them out of MDF. I spray painted them black. Nothing special.

MkIV Octavia VRS Audio upgrade - disappointing
After finding out that the foam somehow spoils the sound quality, I proceeded to the 2nd plan. I removed the speakers, put in rivet nuts and made a 10mm spacer. I also change the polarity. I didn't install the door panels, but the sound is much better, the bass appeared and the treble sounds clear. Today I will complete the installation and update on the final result.

Τhis is a possible explanation, thanks. I will "free" and the other speaker (remove the foam) and i will see the results.

Thanks for the suggestion. I did that without any luck, unfortunately. Well, yesterday i removed the passenger's door panel. Immediately the sound improved. I removed the foam from the speaker. Then i did some tests with the wire polarity, I changed the polarity and checked the speaker membrane moves out in the deep bass. I couldn't figure it out for sure, I left it with the change I made and plan to use the car for a day or two without the passenger's door panel. For sure the sound improved, the treble is mostly heard to a satisfactory degree. And all this just from the changes I made to one door. The driver's door remains as it was. When I finish testing, I'll make the changes to this one as well. I can say that, for sure, the foam made some kind of contact with the speaker and was spoiling the sound effect. I don't know why this created a problem in the treble as well (maybe it's the change in polarity that helped with this).

I appreciate your comments. I will open the card door for both of the front doors, to check the speakers. I will try to reverse polarity to see if there is any change at the quality of the sound. I will also check the foam around the speaker, maybe it is pressed enough and flattens part of the membrane of the speaker. I hear music from both speakers, but it's not loud and definitely not clear (detailed).

Ambient lighting. Is it possible a retrofit ?
Hello, I got electricity from the module of every door. I connected each light submodule to the constant current of the door module.

It's strange this matter with the "reverse" polarity. Yesterday i did some tests, i changed the polarity of the tweeters without any change to the sound quality. I even putted the original tweeters. I didn't understood any change at the sound quality or at the sound volume. I have to check the mid range speakers, at the door. I wondering if there is a chance that the FOCAL speaker set is not original and the quality was poor.

I connected the cables exactly as they were. I didn't check the polarity on the tweeters, I didn't think there would be a problem, so i didn't have any photos. I should check the connections and reverse the polarity on the mid range speakers just to test the sound quality. I have to undo the door panels, i am not like it.

MkIV Octavia VRS Audio upgrade - disappointing
After 3 days and almost 6 hours of operation I can say that I am disappointed with the sound result. The treble has almost disappeared and the sound in general is dull, without any tone quality or resolution. Something definitely went wrong. I don't know if it has to do with the polarity of the speakers or my installation.

A-pillar trim removal?
Just 3 clips. The upper 2 are 2 steps-clips. The 3rd is just a simple clip. It is very useful to have plastic trim removal tools.

A-pillar trim removal?
Ι did this job last week. I follow exactly the instruction of this video and i succeeded. This is a picture after the removal of the plastic trim. I made this to help you. You have to pull the plastic trim in order to release the first 2 clips. The trim will step away about a centimeter or 2. This will allow you to have better access

I was faced with a strange situation. The subject of the speaker's positive and negative pole. In the photo 1 is the electrical diagram, in the photo is the actual situation. Photo 1 Photo2 it looks like there is a reverse connection from the factory. Unless the pole marking on the speaker is wrong. (it isn't i tested it) I can't figure out what's going on.

Finally i made the installation. the process is straightforward. For the mid-bass range speakers the only matter is the connector. I bought 2 connectors with 4 pins to make the installation easy. I removed the pins from the original connector and i istalled them in the new one. The new connector in its place: And some sound insulation Finally, I put a soft material around the speaker to fill the gap between the speaker and the door cover. I still have no idea about the performance of the speakers. I'll work on them for a few days and then come back.
