So like many others i’d had enough of the standard sound system and knew it was time to upgrade. I wanted to keep the head unit as is, so broke into the wiring and added RCA converters to the front & rear speaker lines. Built the sub box out of fibreglass, many YouTube videos of tuition. Moved the alarm light and replaced it with a Bass controller. Fitted the Focal IS605TOY Speakers, so a very easy replacement and added about 30 square feet of sound deafening to the doors, boot, arches and boot lid. Overall very happy with the sound now. The sound deadening is essential, the amount of rattles when you throw some real bass into the cabin is incredible.

Inspired by this thread... http://www.gt86.org.uk/forums/topic/4907-focal-is165toy-installation-and-review/ ...I have purchased and installed the same front speakers. Following a combination of guidance from a youtube video and some of the original post I completed the job, by myself, in the dark on my driveway, on Sunday evening. It took 40-50mins from start to finish to replace all 4 speakers!! I did not completely remove the door cards though. I left everything connected to them and carefully rested them on my legs whilst sat on the sills, working around/under them. A little tricky but no screws/speakers were dropped in the process. Each door speaker took about 10-15mins to do from 'pop this screw cover off' to 'quick sound test'. The trickiest bit of the entire job was undoing the tweeter connections! The speakers are definitely an improvement on the standard things and it's made me want to swap the rears now as I prefer to be 'enveloped' in my music while driving 😁
