I thought I put together a how to upgrade stock speakers thread
Started with the rear speakers, I replaced the stock speakers with JBL 6.5's
I removed the door card following the how to from this link
http://www.australianxtrail.com.au/files/DOORTRIMREMOVALDIYGUIDE.pdf
I then proceeded to remove the stock speaker, by undoing the 3 philips screws
I looked at fitting the speaker straight into the hole but due to the weird shape it wasn't going to fit, I then thought about making some spacers from MDF but then decided to molest the stock speakers for there surrounds
Stock speaker
Mounting depth shot
Then I cut out the bits I didn't need anymore ensuring not to break the surround
The waste/ bits cut out
The speaker surround cleaned up
New speaker test fitted
Speaker screwed into the surround
New speaker mounting depth
Fitted on the car
Tomorrow ill be doing the front speakers and ill do something similar for the install
Hope this helps someone
Thanks
Neil
