Driving it finally
2012 Ford Fusion 2004 V70XC 01 V70XC -M66 1998 C70 T5-M66
All six door speakers were replaced with coaxials in the rear door and components in the front doors. Wow, what an outstanding sound that exceeded my expectations. Top photo shows new coaxial speaker pre and post install in the OEM bracket. Bottom photo shows new speaker installed with Ensolite and Second Skin before panel reinstall. End result was very stealth with no signs of new speakers having been installed in any of the doors.
My thanks to those of you that posted the "How To" threads with photos. What a life saver they were for this and my other project. This finishes my electronic tinkering - over the years I've changed out the HU650 for an HU850(EBay), added Bluetooth hand's free, subwoofer (EBay), center speaker with Garmin bracket and lastly Sirius (EBay but it finally died) being replaced with iMIV and iPOD.

Nice work mate!
Hope to finish my Brembo conversion tomorrow afternoon.
I ran out of time this arvo.
Are yours Evo calipers?

The Sirius subscription died so I pulled the Volvo Sirius unit and reinstalled my old iMIV and iPOD units.
My thanks to Martin at iMIV as I am technology challenged. Martin helped me download the correct firmware and corrected my plug-in error. Net result, the iPOD works exceptionally well with the HU850 and the clear crisp sound is outstanding!
