Here are some pictures from my speaker install.

The Focal integration sold me on having the crossovers part of the speaker harnesses so no extra wiring was necessary.

I basically followed ndavies guide and this just shows how I did the tweeters and other differences/problems I ran into along the way. Also part numbers and measurements for the stock locations.

Yes I saw some of these threads, yet I couldn't find the answer for someone trying to hook up a stock harman amp to the premium model, hence the question.

 

This was asked before I tore into the car and felt that a little info might save me a lot of trouble, ie: if the harnesses were already in place, etc...

 

I appreciate your answer, yet I did use the search engine and it didn't quite come through for me, the search will continue.

 

Maybe before pulling the forum police impersonation, you might actually read this and reread my question and ask yourself if these threads are answering the question or is this issue directly brought up in any form, in the thread....The answer is NO....and if you cannot answer this yourself, then the respectful thing would be to keep your "Search engine policing" to yourself, because maybe the member actually used the search function and came up with zero, all without policing, I realize this is hard to imagine, but believe it.

Yah you're right, this question hasn't been answered yet.

I looked into the same sort of thing. One of my biggest regrets is not going for the premium package but I just couldn't afford it.

Unfortunately it looks like the entire right-side wiring harness is different so it's not an easy patch-in. This includes all the H&K amp wiring and rear heated seats wiring. If you have the Clarion head unit (with the 6.2" display) it won't have the necessary connectors anyways.

We need an audio sticky with all the info on the stock speakers, metra part numbers, and install info.

I just finished swapping out my speakers and having all that info handy would have saved a ton of time. This post and xero287's helped out a lot but they get quickly buried in the form.

Do you have any pictures of the stock speakers? Are they really bad, like cardboard-cone bad?

I'm hoping to do the same thing and replace the speakers as a first step. The stock audio sounds terrible.
