Replacement door speakers

[jurassicmark]

Hi

I know this has probably been done to death, but I can't seem to find anything using the search engine....

I'd be most grateful if someoine could recommend a suitable replacement for the factory fitted 16cm door speaker.

I'm not bothered about the sound but I've lost the grill off the original and the scrappers want £35 for a second hand single speaker so I may as well buy a new set.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Mark

What speakers do you have (model number) as I have 1 decent speaker and 2 good grills I could offer you. I could do the grill for just a few beer tokens if its the right one.

I have just replaced my speakers. I took the speakers out the back and put them in the front doors (because its all I could find that would fit) and then for the back I fitted some pioneer 17cm.

I did need spacers for the rear as the larger speakers I have fitted would have fouled the fuel tank. I got them from here as for the sake of a few quid, I couldn't be bothered making them:

Hope this helps.

I'm thinking of changing my original Pioneer ones for the Blaupunkt THX 652 or similar - would I really notice a difference? as the Pioneers are in good condition.

Recently been to see Carl Baker for a few bits and he had some good deals on speakers. He'll fit whatever combination you want i.e. just fronts, all four, with sub woofers....
One of the things I got from him was a new CD player - he didn't try to plam me off with new speakers just told me what he could do and said try the existing speakers for a while to see if I really wanted to change them.
Well pleased with what he did and will go back if I decide to change the speakers.
His number is 0772 092 3407

I only had one speaker grille, too and learning that a 'new' one from Pioneer would be in excess of £20 for a five year old (they weren't the originals anymore), £45 pair of speakers I decided to upgrade - £90 worth of Focal Acces (French for 'you've bought the bottom of the range' ) 165 mm coaxials. Contrary to most options today which are the wrong side of 17 cm, the outside diameter of the grilles is 165 mm - exactly the same as the speakers that they replace. They need 61 mm or so of clearance in the doors - should fit but I'll know for sure when the car's here again.

Cheers - Email received. I'll have a look at the model number of the speakers I took out the front tomorrow and let you know.

I have replaced mine with Blaupunkt THX652's that fit very well and sound good too. I done a lot of research to find some that fitted as there are not a lot around where the grill will also fit.
