I got one too hate the stock sound

Did you have to adjust the amp settings at all or did you just drop it in and leave it at default settings? Considering buying one of these and this would be one of the first mods I'd do.

@@wfujay3946 you got to adjust it of course to find a sweet spot. For the gain I put all settings on default on the media screen and all the crossover settings of the amp at full. Then put the volume at 75%, played a 150hz, 500hz and 1000hz with the hear protection headphone i use in the shop and went slow on the front gain till hear the distortion, then backed it off a little till no more distortion, then same thing on the rear speakers. Distortions are more easily audible with 150hz freq. after that high pass 75hz in front and about the same in the rear. Don’t know how good my method is but seem to work well :)

@@wfujay3946 I think tho, for the real good control of a sound a dsp could be a cool thing but I ain’t got any more money to throw in the sound of a polo haha. Sound deadening of doors worked nicely for the mid bass. It is nicely toight. But overall I think my setup lack a little in the mids somewhere in my car at least, while having a tad too much of highs. I’ve boosted mids a little bit and checked if distortion was ok on the amp but still there is a dip somewhere it is not as linear as I want. But yeah if I had 5k to throw at the system… There is an other little amp which has some sort of a auto dsp setting with included mic. Maybe it is better don’t know. To conclude, I like the sound it is good, jazz sounds wonderfully, pop sounds damn great, electro too. But for metal, I have the voice somewhat behind instruments a little.

The Bass is about the same. I have no issues with the impedance. I think stock tweets were also 2 ohms? I have since added a powered sub. So on Stock Bass its one below the zero point so they are very clear and play louder than needed.

@@jasonin2details thanks, appreciate the response.

I had more bass but I’ve sound deaden my doors at the time of change so might be that

@@jasonin2details Hi Jason! Why did you not choose to use a two-way kit in the rear seats? My R line came from factory with a place for the two way kit at the back door...yours did not bring it?

Focal Inside IS VW 155 front doors. Its a huge improvement in output and even better sound quality. I added a powered sub last week and now it really thumps hard

And for the rear doors Wich set do you use ( model) please

And for the rear doors?

@@eduardokarmayeshe5579 rear icvw165 front isvw165

Hola! En la parte de atrás qué modelo de bocinas es?

I did it the other day, need to make quick video. Did a small Audison mono amp and from Crutchfield got a Kicker 12 in shallow sub box with 12 passive radiator that fires down. It rocks hard now

@@jasonin2details hi I’m learning a lot from your video and these comments. All in all, how much did you approximately spend?

yeah change out the 6x9's and the tweeters.

Hey Nathan! I have the 22 SEL R-Line with the Fenders. I don’t mind the door speakers and such, but haven’t had much luck with the subwoofer in the trunk. How’s yours sounding?

Focal Inside IS VW 155 front doors, Focal Inside IC VW 165 back doors

IS VW 155 or 165? Can't find 155....do you mean rear speakers with tweeter integrated? Rear doors doesn't have spare tweeters?

@@jasonin2details you showed the is vw 180 though.

Not sure. The set is a 2 way set so it would sound little better most likely. Not sure if one I used would fit under grill. I would call them

@@jasonin2details Did you also end up installing them in the rear doors?

How do you find the setup? Considering same 👍

In mine it was behind the glove box. Thats where I tapped the speaker outputs to feed the line converter. Not sure on 17. sometimes is under seat or on floor right in front of seat under little pop off panel

yEs huge. You get noticeable sound quality and volume increase. The next stage to get improvement is a lot more work, Amps and rewire and so on.

6.5

They’re available at creative audio as well.

@@davidgorby814 Thank you! That's where I actually got mine from. Great place to deal with and fast shipping. Still trying to figure out if just switching out the speakers will make a difference or do I need an amp too. Have to make up my mind quick as they only have a 60 day return policy.

@@gary9879 They will improve factory sound with or without a amp. I actually am 1 of the 3 sales guys there, reach out to us if you need any help.

Thanks again! Will get in touch with anymore questions.

I have decided to replace my stock speakers with Focal and unfortunately didn’t notice any sagnificant difference! Then I made some research and found out that the problem is actually with my RNS510. I’ve replaced it with newer Composition Media and the results are amazing!!! Sounds gtlreat, it’s worth 100%.

@@vakula485 what new composition media are you using now

@@reesechris76 VW Composition Media 5C0 035 200 F (with touch buttons)

@@vakula485 Hello! Find out myself the upgrade was anticlimatic, but today i've added a focal impulse and hot damn. So you're right you gotta drive them properly for them to sound good.

In my 2022 SE they do not fold up.

I dont know. www.crutchfield.com would have correct answer

You need an amp. These speakers are great

That one had a lot of advantages except it was about 7000 more and all the trim is Chrome

I would check www.crutchfield.com they can help with all the sizes. As for amp you have I dont know correct answer.

👍🏾

Also, how did you rivet them In?

at 5 min mark i start talking about the ohms and I said they were 4ohm. Where did you get 2 ohm from?

You were wrong on your video. The Focal speakers are 2 ohm….not 4 ohm like you mentioned. I went ahead and put the Focals that you recommended in my 2022 Tiguan, and now are worried about blowing out the factory amp or my new Focal speakers.@@jasonin2details

They were 100% recommended by Crutchfield as direct factory replacement. If you are worried take them out @@gary9879

They sound great…really don’t want too. Guess I will take my chances and prove what the critics say is wrong. Hope I never damage them. Thanks for all your help and videos in upgrading the Tiguan.

Sorry I dont surf youtube during the day to instantly reply to your comment.

Appologies@@jasonin2details

Well they are 4ohm overall but since it is a 2ohm 6.5 and a 2ohmTweet wired in series that would make it a 4ohm load seen by the amp

@@jasonin2details ah, thanks for clarifying!
