Ferrari 360 F1 Modena

One Car One Story

Factory Speakers Upgraded with Focal’s

Yes the engine sounds great, but I wanted a little more out of the speakers also. Didn’t want to go and rebuild the entire cars stereo but I think upgrading the main speaker would help. Short answer, it did!

I ended up buying the EC 165 K from Focal ( https://www.focal.com/en/car-audio/car-audio-kits-solutions/elite/k2-power/coaxial-kits/ec-165-k ) which is a 6.5 speaker with a tweeter built into the center (coaxial style). Being what I could tell the best on the market speaker wise that would easily fit into the 360, seemed like a good choice.

There 1 modification needed to the stock door inset/skin. You’ll need to grind off about 1/4 inch from around the bottom of the skin around the factory speaker opening inside the door. This doesn’t effect anything in the door, but if you don’t do this, you can still install the speaker, it will just push out the door panel 1/4.

I also added dynamat onto the door skin and even bought a boom mat/speaker pocket. The boom mat was to ensure no water gets to the speaker and further finished look.

The factory speaker grill fits back onto the new speakers with 1 slight modification of removing part of the outer rim/between 2 screws, see photo below. With the factory speaker grill added back, honestly you can’t tell visually that the speaker has been upgraded.

Sound wise, even with the factory deck (which I plan on keeping) it sounds much much better. I’m not looking for thumping bass, but more mid and high range sound is very clearly there. I enjoy taking the Ferrari on longer road trips and having nicer audio is a welcomed upgrade.

I bought my Focal speakers via eBay shipped from the UK as was nearly half the cost as buying from a US retailer. The dynamat and boom mat both came from Amazon.
