I repalced the 4 door speakers with Infinity Kappa 62ix. Strange thing is my 2 front new speakers in the doors now only produce bass, no voice or vocal or mids at all. I forgot to check my 2 front door factory speaker sound before I replaced. Mine is 2020 LR Plus. Is that because there are 5 speakers on dash and pillars thats why no need for mid and high from two front speakers? They have crossed over mid and high from the 2 front speakers door speakers?

Thank you for the guide of both the front and back doors. Just did both today with these speakers on my 2015 P85DL. The fronts required no modifications. For others, the backs I used a cut out tool to remove the speaker channels and everything went well. Also added some KILMAT 80 mil sound deadener to all doors while at it since the dang road noise is so loud on the highway! Took about 5 hours total with soldering and cutting due to the sound deadener and 40* high Colorado weather. Speakers sound better than stock. Clearer bass but still not a subwoofer. That will be the next addition!

Just to clarify. You DID hear more bass sound when doing the back speakers? On my 2014 Model S, I faded to the back speakers only and the EQ was turned all the way up on the bass bands with very little bass coming out of the two rear door speakers. The speakers hardly even move when bass is hitting (even with DJ Magic Mike music playing). I am wondering if the MCU filters bass to those two speakers. This would alter my plan on changing those two speakers if they are being filtered by the MCU. Can you please advise? Thank you for your videos! They are a great help to my potential upcoming project of changing the 4 door speakers!

Just finished doing this....replaced all 4 door speakers with these same speakers. FYI...the OP has a 2016 refresh and there is 1 difference between his and the pre-refresh cars.....you're going to have to trim the inside of ALL 4 door panels. I struggled with the 1st door for over 2 hours before I realized my 2014 wasn't like his 2016. On the front 2 doors the inner plastic circle (there's 2 of them on each front door) must be trimmed back to almost flush all the way around to get the door card back on. The 2 back doors must be trimmed as he explains in his other video for the rear installation. He said 1/4 inch all the way around that plastic circle must be trimmed.....that wasn't enough on my 2014. I had to cut about an inch off all the way around. Sound is MUCH cleaner for sure. Well worth the $200 I paid for all 4 speakers. Please note...if your expecting more volume don't. Your not going to get more volume without adding power, ie. An additional amplifier. But if your after cleaner sound this is going to get you there!
