LCR replacement speakers

[Timmbo71]

Hi peeps, i have a Mk1 Lcr, and by the sounds of things 1 of my rear door speakers has had it. Making a funny "farting" noise on some bassy notes.

Just wana know, what speakers people would advise getting.. The sound as standard is pretty good, so not after filling the boot with subs. So am thinking of upgrading??

Any ideas?

A decent set of components will improve the sound no end. I've got infinity reference components in my front doors; they set me back around £65 (fleabay!). If you want a standard speaker I can bring one to Brands Hatch btcc?

 

[Timmbo71]

dont worry about bringing one along dude. Any chance could have a listen to yours though?
just to get an idea...

 

[Timmbo71]

Plus im not 100% sure which speaker has gone as door trims etc rattle etc!!!

 

[DannyC87]

yep you can listen to mine; not a problem. i've got a different headunit too so will sound different anyway.

If it's the rear one gone and you buy a new set then put the new ones in the front and swap the knackerd one with one you took from the front.

 

[Timmbo71]

I take it they are the same speaker front and rear?

 

[DannyC87]

yep, same mids and tweeters in all the doors.

Oh ok... Well that helps! You still going to Brands? If so, see you there.

what size are the speakers, i could do with upgrading mine

Hi, I had the same prob - the tweeter in the passenger door sound is coming and going. I'd say it's just a connection somewhere. Sony CD player and aftermarket 6CD changer was fitted by previous owner - is there a wire coming out from the back of the CD player that feeds the tweeters? If so maybe I could check this for a bad connection. If it aint this it could be the connection to the speaker in the door which is probably soldered and in this case would mean that the door would have to be removed.

Any help/advise would be great.

Thanks.

It will be a problem inside the door as the tweeter is fed from the same wires as the mid in the bottom of the door. The door card is fairly easy to remove, prise the handle cover off to reveal to phillips head screws, and there are 2 torx screws at the bottom of the door, other than this there are a number of clips; so prise the door card off carefully, also remember there will be wires linking the door card to the door which need disconnecting to completely seperate the 2.
