Hi

I want to change the front speakers in my MY01 but dont want to damage the front door panels in doing so. Can anyne who has changed their front speakers tell me the easiest way to get the panels off please.

Also I have seen many arguments about what speakers do and don't fit. Please can someone give me a model number of a decent set of speakers they know will fit.

Thanks

Nathan..

its easy to get to the speakers just follow this FAQ of the SIDC web site, ive used this FAQ many times....

4.9.2 Fitting speakers
4.9.2.1 Rear
Here's a readers instructions for gaining access to the rear speakers in a 4-door. Apparently it takes about an hour.

Remove back seat, both pieces: 5 bolts
Very carefully, remove side panels: in back seat
Again very carefully, pop loose rear glass plastic window trim, pull out gently, as they just have a plastic pop insert to hold them in place. Ease back both sides - NOT ALL THE WAY - just enough to bend them back.
Now, go into the boot and pop loose the little black plastic clips coming from the back glass shelf, there should be 4 - 2 each side. The shelf assembly should now be loose.
Go back in rear deck area, and carefully bend laminated shelf with speaker covers up in the middle while removing slowly.
Install new speakers and reverse order to refit.

4.9.2.2 Front
Prise up the electric window switch at the front of the pad. Remove the screw in there, and disconnect the switches by pushing a lug on the back of the switches.
Prise off the triangular piece of plastic by the mirror.
Remove the screw behind the blanking plate below arm rest.
Pop off the door handle surround. Don't need to unscrew the door handle.
Pull off popper at door hinge end of the door.
Pull whole trim outwards gently - it should be completely loose. Gently push it upwards and clear.

that should do it! as for speakers make sure the mounting depth is ok as i have some amazing speakers but they dont fit! so im going to have to have door builds. I know Focal are a good make, ive used Infinity aswell, basically get the best you can afford.

Hope all this helps

If it is the same as MY00 Infinity 605CS, JBL GT6.0C, Kenwood PS70P, Focal 165, CD Tech CD62(?)

Look back at previous posts or try ICE search untick title search and put in speaker

Thanks for the speaker types.

I tried a search but some people were saying 'these' speakers fit but need an mdf spacer and others were saying no they dont need a spacer etc etc.

Well Inf 605CS go straight in without a spacer in <=MY00. Think 01 is the same for the front doors. They really need an amp to make the most of them as they are a bit quiet off a headunit due to low sensitivity and high power handling.

Cheers John I'll have a look at the inf speakers. I have a Kenwood amp from my last car running 300w on 2 way so I'll give it a go with that and see how I get on.
