To be honest, I'm hard pressed to name a manufacturer who makes a model specific kit for the Solara. There are many universal kits available though.

Hopefully some Gen 1 people who have done grounding will chime in here...

Another questions for the experts here: I have an extra set of Kenwood Kfc-P707 6.5" component speakers and I was wondering if that thing can be custom mounted on the pillars (by the driver's & passenger's seatbelt)?

I mean I already asked that question b4 with the whole tweeter thing but I would really like to have a set of speakers by the seats...what im trying to say is, i already have one in the front door, i have the 6 x 9 in the back and i would like to think that i can improve the overall "sound experience" if I custom mount a set of component speakers in the middle(pillar area)...

What would u guys recommend?

As I said before... You can completely ruin your "sound experience" by tossing in extra stuff that you don't need... Simplicity is a virtue in the audio world... Learn to do more with less; use quality parts and tune what you have properly and it will immerse you. Throw in extra crap all over the place and it will ruin your staging, sound quality, realism, timing, etc...

Add tweets next to someones head and I guarantee they will be pinpointing that sound the whole time you have your music playing instead of enjoying a surrounding environment...

Let's put this in simple terms... Think about it for a second... If you are using a simple five-point home theater system consisting of two mains, a center, and two surround speakers, you can get a WHOLE lot out of it (assuming it is layed out properly and tuned to please)... Very enjoyable experience...

Now, you are listening to that setup and enjoying your theatrical experience, properly immersed in a central environment when all the sudden your friend comes up to you and puts a tweeter next to your right ear... Your focus will shift from the central point to the tweeter to the right of you... It will throw EVERYTHING off, and it will sound like garbage (even if it's a high quality tweeter).

You can do it man, as I said it's possible with some wiring... but there is realistically NO way to make it sound good.
