Sorry guys, I missed your questions to me. I was busy sturring up speeders on the other thread....

@ blinkwatt - I'll answer your question first since it will be shorter. The Kappa's come with a crossover (?) unit that separates the 2 incoming wires from the amp into 4 wires - 2 for the spkr and 2 for the tweeter. I suppose you could unsolder or cut the tweeter wires. I went the other direction - I placed the tweeter side of the spkr by the factory tweeter and soldered the factory tweeter into the Kappas.

@ gunny - yes there was cutting and soldering to make the dash spkrs work. The Haes is slightly larger than 4" and doesn't use a std mounting pattern (damn Haes!). After spending a lot of time thinking about it, I decided to take a hack saw and cut a slot on each side of the long mounting post of the dash spkr cover (didn't cut clear thru). This allowed me to use one mounting tab of the Kappa to slide into the slots. On the opposite side I drilled a hole (careful you don't break thru the face plate) and used a course threaded screw to hold the spkr down. The other two mounting tabs had to be trimmed off because they would not allow the spkr to go into the dash. I chose to solder all my connections because I believe it gives me a better connection (OK, I'm anal).

Burg is right, taking the door panel off is not hard. He referenced some good threads or there are detailed instructions in the Bentley manual (which is what I used). I was extra careful because I didn't want to break any clips. Probably the hardest part was disconnecting the light wires - it's kind of cramped back there. Haes decided to used std patterns in the door, so a couple of snips, a little soldering, some electrical tape, 4 screws in existing holes, and you're done.

Let me know if you have any questions about my surgical procedure on the dash.
