The install is pretty straight forward. The only thing you're going to need is some small sheetmetal screws to mount the speakers to the adaters. And then you need longer screws to mount the adapter ring to the speaker cover. The original screws are to short for this purpose.
Here are a few pics of the finished product.

Look great. This might be one case where sound trumps pics ? T

Tony, I can't speak as to the sound quality yet. The P/O had done a lousy job on what he thought was an upgrade. Wiring was hacked a bit. So I'm still in the process of installing the new system. I promised Hans I would post pics so that was the first phase. I should have the rest of the system installed in a couple weeks. Provided nothing else pops up.

Drew, contact Hans via PM he'll set you up.

Bilal, I believe these only work for S3 and earlier.

Look forward to the sound report. Last I heard, broader release pends the testing/validation.

Interesting interior you have- did it come like that?

That's the way I bought it. Judging by the service history I'm the fourth owner. No receipts showing changes to the interior. I'm assuming it's original.

Looks good.

What is your interior colour? It does look unusual in these pics. The black center console box is also not typical with a lighter colour interior.

It's not actually black. It's like a dark brown. It match's the color in the door cards. I'll try and post pics later. Now it's time for yard work. :'(

Here's a pic of the door card. It's kind of hard to pick up the color in a pic.

Moderation request: Please change the title to B Pillar speaker... ? It would facilitate accurate searches in the future.
