I finally got around to installing my Pionner P99 and my ScanSpeak 10f's as my dedicated midrange (factory dash location)
Everything went fairly smooth. Oddly enough, the 10F's were not a simple drop in. The passenger side was almost a drop in install, a little trimming was needed, but not much at all. For some reason, the driver's side dash location was a bit tighter fit. We had to trim a bit more than the passenger side needed, but we got it in. It was very important to me to retain all factory speaker screw holes etc... when I trade this truck in some day, all factory speakers will fit perfectly and all will be good. Obviously, none of the trimming really shows due to the factory dash grill and their tight location. The 10f's are mounted, but I will be playing with the angles for some time. We put a very crude tune to it (it was getting late) just to protect the speakers a bit. Ball park crossover settings, slopes have been set, some iphone level matching, and a really quick time alignment. I can tell there is A LOT of potential here, but many hours of tuning is in my near future. I like the tone of the 10f's...they're pretty warm, VERY detailed, natural, and have nice attack from what I can tell thus far. My stage is wandering a bit from song to song, but I'm not concerned at this point. My stage has risen a bit which is nice, and the factory dash locations have added some depth which I really enjoy.
some numbers:
Esotar 650's with 360 watts each
Scanspeak 10F's with 90 watts each
Dynaudio T380's with 90 watts each

^^this packing fuzz came with the 10F's so I decided to use it in my install
Let the tuning begin
