Speaker replacement

Hello all.
It's probably been covered before, but i took some pictures when changing my front speakers, and thought I would share.

I bought a set of 13cm Pioneers of Ebay. Similar to these.

They have a mounting depth of less then 50mm, which means they will not interfere with the window. (according to this thread, thats the magic depth)

Remove doorcard, easy enough, a couple of screws and your there.

Remove speaker, 4 screws.



I choose to destroy the old speaker to save me the time of making a new mounting bracket.

Simply peel away the old speaker, and I used a saw to remove the whole back of the original speaker.



I then cut the mounting "things" (don't know the English word for it) away, to make them fit into the original speaker mountings.

Before:


After:




Cut the original wire, and use the spade connetors that is supplyed with the speakerset to wire them up.

Refit :



Finished:




As I said before, It's probably been covered before, but hey, one more thread for people that search for a speaker replacement in their Freelander.

Good write up. Never occurred to me to destroy the original speakers to get a good mounting plate when I did mine.

Very nice job,
Need to replace mine soon as the cracklings had started!

Great right up mate deffo a good idea to break the old crappy ones. might be able to do something like this once i can get mine to be reliable first lol

Good job! and thanks for the pictures,

hiya

Thanks guys, though this would be old news for the members of Landyzone. Glad if someone find it usefull.
Baptista, 200w (Which translates into about 35 real watts.. ), sound much better acctually, not much bass, but I'm thinking about installing a small active sub, one of those 8" that fits underneath the seat.

Gstuart, no, I have not replaced the rear ones yet, changing speakers as I change the window mechs, yes all 5 was broken. Anyone got a picture of the inside of the doorcard for the rear doors?

im looking to changing all my speakers for decent ones and found this baby 6.5" sub will fit nicely under the passenger seat
