Update
The front speakers are Alpine 6 x 4's .... middling quality (roughly £50 / pr)
The door card was a pig to get off. A number of plastic "nails" that were very tight, Loads of Velcro and a single small screw on the top of the speaker mesh (that you cannot get to until the mid section is removed.)
Suggested plan of attack if you ever need to remove speaker / lower door card
- Get a proper trim removal tool (metal type an end a bit like a small claw hammer)
- When you have the above under the plastic nail, slide a steel rule under the tool's heel so that you have something to lever against without destroying the door card.
- You have to be brutal to get them out ..... and you are probably going to need new ones to re assemble with
- The mid section is the first bit to get off (4" wide section that sits below the mid level wooden arm rest) - start at the front (just velcro) there's a single nail at the rear
- Once this is off you can get to the screw in the top of the speaker grille
- Then remove the bottom section to get to speakers (you dont need to remove the upper section at all for this job
I've messed up by buying 4" rounds to fit. I could do this, but decided to order a 2nd set of Kicker 6x4's now I know thats the size fitted - "do it right, do it once" methinks.
When I fit the above I am also going to fit a small Pioneer (underseat type) Sub Woofer above the passengers knees - I've measured available space as 300w x 200d x 60h
Just another weeks wait now for bits ........
