Replacing the stock 20 cm speakers with 16 cm DLS - Toyota Celica, 2.0 L, 1998 with DRIVE2

I thought for a long time whether to change or not to change, since I started tinkering with the sound, it was decided to install DLS. Moreover, tweets, like crossovers, were already DLS.
For this case, 2 plywood adapter rings were made.

All the podiums were removed and taken home, it's still warmer =)

I drilled holes, screwed in self-tapping screws and, having finished with one speaker, joyful ran the whole thing to test. We need to compare what was and what we received.

I arrived at the garage at about nine o'clock in the evening. I thought: "I'll take the second speaker and grab the normal wires." He turned on the music and began to turn the balance from left to right ... Then a guy who made spacers came and listened with him. Later Lyokha came and listened to him.
The controversy was in the ambiguity of the superiority of some over others. Kenwood removes the "stage" and makes the sound volumetric, there is more music in them, it seems that there is everything, but somehow everything is blurry ... in a word, porridge. DLS, on the other hand, give a clearer voice, harder bass and more and more collected, but somehow strongly intrusive and too much.
As a result, leaving the garage at 12 o'clock in the morning and stupefied by the music, it was decided to put on DLS. I came home, started putting together the second podium ... and then I found out that what I was looking for I didn't take = (The prospect of going to the garage and going to bed after an hour, and getting up before seven didn't inspire me ...
I installed the second speaker the next day In the evening I drove across the city on business and listened to music all the way.
After 2 days I returned everything back =) Still, when full music is playing, DLS only spoil the whole picture with their obsession and clarity. And the music itself fades into the background.
PS without trying, you will never know if it will be better or not. Experiment! this is useful ;)

Pavel, I agree completely! For this reason, the idea was to change them to DLS, only when I did everything, it was not so pleasant to listen to. As the head will be changed, so will the experiments continue. So far I stopped at this.

the fish rots from the head). instead of perversions with speakers, change your head that can correctly handle everything and then you will not have the opinion that the coaxial kenwood is replaying the channel

Tin in terms of perversion? experiments stuff like this =) head of kenwood Ez500. I didn’t choose it myself. There is a story below. how I redid everything and photographs of the head, respectively. She has problems with the outputs, either a sub or a rear. Therefore, the amplifier is now working in parallel. The wiring is all ready for a normal head.

IMHO it is better not to change 20 to 16, and if you change it, too, by 20 class higher than those that are already standing.
