| New Front Speakers (1) |
The old speakers distorted really badly even at a low volume so they also had to go. In the interest of
originality the new speakers were the same diameter(10cm).
Make sure you don't buy speakers that are too
deep as you will run into the same problem as i did about getting enough depth for them to fit with the
original girlles.
 20 mins, but it took me more like 1.5 hours as I had to
fiddle about getting the speakers to fit.

 The grilles unclip using a flat blade screwdriver
You can see how bad the old speakers were, as the outer
cone had completely perisihed.
Undo the four screws to release the speakers and backing plate.
I should have seen how much depth there was for the speakers as it was only when I went to put them in that
I noticed they weren’t going to fit!
This meant I had to take a bit more drastic action, and drilled out the back of the speaker pods in the doors
to give me the depth needed to mount the speakers.
I know this isn’t perfect for the sound, but it doesn’t
seem to have been very noticeable. (You don’t need to take the door trim off for this, but I was wax injecting
the doors at the same time)

Before drilling:
After drilling:
To make an extra bit of space I mounted the speakers
behind the backing plate. (as show in the picture)
Then the grilles are put back on, and it all looks
the same, but sounds much better!
