the only thing disappointing about my fabulous F-Type R AWD is the very poor sound performance of the 380w 'Meridian' system.
It seems that the F-Type is fitted with some pretty poor speakers that are so lacking in righty and overall performance that the sound is awful.
I tested it before and after, before the upgrade, Thomas Dolby's incredibly dynamic track, Dissidents, sounded lethargic, flappy, and weak... after - well that's a whole new story!
Billie Eilish's amazing BAD Guy was next, with such bass extension, this showed up all the flaws in the sound, until the upgrade that is!
the voice and piano of Norah Jones on Sunrise warbled and distorted before, after - there was musicality and warmth to the tone... lovely.
a bit of research revealed that I could upgrade the original crappy speakers to the more premium kevlar coned units found in Jaguar XF, XK and XJ cars and indeed Range Rovers. All coming from the Jaguar / Land Rover parts bin they were interchangeable.
in this video I show you how I remove the door cards, install some sound deadening matting and install upgraded tweeters, mid range and sub-woofers in the doors.I will show the part numbers I used and how much it all cost me... you'll be surprised!
You can hear the results!!!
I hope you enjoy this video - my longest one yet! I'm also doing an upgrade on the standard rear sub woofers and mids, that'll be done soon.

I used a couple of songs to test the before and after, and to credit those:
Thoms Dolby - Dissidents
Billie Eilish - Bad Guy
Norah Jones - Sunrise
the results were incredible with a near double in the perceived output... crazy! the quality is an enormous step up too - so very pleased!
