Simple speaker uprade

Post by bmwangler » Mon Apr 19, 2010 11:01 pm

I have the standard audio set up which doesn't sound that bad. However, I fancy an upgrade of the front (footwell) speakers would provide a useful improvement at little cost.

I have read that the JBL-GTO628 6.5" two-way units are really good, with loads of tight, deep bass (what It needs, I feel)

They are 160mm diameter, 2 ohms impedance and require a 52mm mounting depth. Will they fit my Zed as a direct replacement?

Also, how do you get into the units - is it an easy job?

Nope you'll need spacers as it's a different mounting template - oems are 4 holes but in a peculiar shape.

remove of door cards is easy, but take the battery off first to make sure you dont get an airbag light.

have a look at the FAQ for a couple of guides :thumbsup:

Thanks, Andy, but it's the footwell speakers I want to change - how are they removed?
