removal of rear speakers

[chris285]

bought some rear 6x4's to replace my crap ones in my mk2, but i cannot seem to get the old ones out. the nuts seem to be very difficult to remove, i only got 1 off each speaker

looks as if the thread on the plastic is crap, and i don't want to mess things up too much by pulling them off. anyone else had this problem?

 

[(beeza gti)]

youve got to pull the clip off as its not screwed on! i used a trim fork to do mine,but dont brake them because they need to go back on

Yep, use a screwdriver or something to lever the clip away from the plastic and then pull the whole clip down.

can someone also point out what sizes speakers fit in the dash and the door plz? i dont want to mess with the parcel shelf..so i guess the 6X4 is the only options on the rear? thanks

cut the shelf , get some 6X9 . i love them

 

[kid709394]

dun want to cut my perfect shelf....

i tried taking out those bolts and the damn things just spun round and round without coming loose

where is the clip anyway, all i saw was a plastic bolt where the speaker fitted and a bolt holding it on

Hi, sorry, difficult to describe. There is plastic stalk in each corner of the speaker, and there is a metal 'nut' holding the speaker up to the housing. The plastic stalk is not threaded. The metal 'nut' therefore cannot be loosened just by twisting it - as there is no thread for it to travel down. Instead it is held in place by some springy steel inside the 'nut'. If you prise that springy steel away from the stalk, you should find that you can pull the 'nut' down quite easily. Hope that makes some sort of sense.

ah great mate i think i get what you mean, my mate had a cordoba and said he did something similar to remove his

so anyone knows the sizes of the speakers that fit in the dash and the door panel?

 

[chris285]

i beleive its 10cm in the dash, and 17cm in the front doors

the dash speakers are just tweeters, and you would need to make custom mounts to fit anything else in there.

The door speakers are 17.5cm

Rear speakers are 6"x4" standard size.

Pioneer do a replacement set for the dash and the doors check on their website i think there around £80 for custom fit speakers. very nice sound

if you visit bassjunkies.co.uk you can put the car you have in and they will tell you waht speakers will fit. they also have them in stock and are pretty cheap.

Yeah, I had a set of these in mine when it was just a road car. I agree they give a good sound and you don't have to hack the interior of your car to pieces. IIRC, the Pioneer kit is the same one as the Golf Mk3.
