The standard speakers aren't very good. So I decided to look for some
good Pioneer replacements. The best ones that seem to fit are: [back.jpg box.jpg connector.jpg cover.jpg newconnectors.jpg speaker.jpg]
 They are 3-way speakers, which should fit in place with some small
modification. They look pretty ok. [back.jpg box.jpg connector.jpg cover.jpg newconnectors.jpg speaker.jpg]
 Remove the small lid by lifting it up with your fingers or a
screwdriver. Remove the 2 screws and get the speaker out. Removing the
old speaker reviels a non standard connector. [back.jpg box.jpg connector.jpg cover.jpg newconnectors.jpg speaker.jpg]
 I don't want to change the connector over to the new speakers, so I
removed the connector from the car and soldered on some standard plugs. [back.jpg box.jpg connector.jpg cover.jpg newconnectors.jpg speaker.jpg]
 Before putting the new speaker in, you have to remove two of the
"ears" as only 2 will fit. Just take a plier and break them off. Put
the speaker back in place and tighten the screws. [back.jpg box.jpg connector.jpg cover.jpg newconnectors.jpg speaker.jpg]
 Put the cover back and after doing the same to the other speaker,
you're done! [back.jpg box.jpg connector.jpg cover.jpg newconnectors.jpg speaker.jpg]
 Sound is a lot better. Ofcourse the low notes aren't very good, but
that is to be expected from speakers with this size. Mid and high is
very nice. |
