    Ive had my new yoda for almost two months now, just rolled over the infamous 1000mi mark and think I blew one of the speakers up front, drivers side. Probably the tweet.

    Im 40 years old and have ALWAYS been an audiophile, be it car audio, or home, Im into it. I didnt foot the xtra for the JBL package, and evidently its a good thing. So the time has come to do a lil upgrade...

    Has anyone pulled out the headunit yet to see what kinda connections are in the back of it?

    I may have gotten ahead of myself, but oh well...

    Ive still gotta pickup some dynamat, or similar sound deadening material...

    Heres what they used on the rear wall for insulation:

    Does the 2016 require the speaker spacers that go in between the speaker and the mount for after market speakers?

    No odors.

    & I do think aftermarket speakers will have to mount in a frame and then into the door opening...

    I will take a better look at one tommorrow.
