Time to replace some speakers. What to get?
 
I have never done any audio work in a car, but one or both of my door speakers are getting pretty bad and sound like kazoos. I don't want anything fancy, just plug and play replacements. What to get?

Focal's are nice.

I just replaced all four crumbling speakers with MB Quart Onyx 5.25"'s and 4"'s. For the fronts I cut the mounting ring off the original speaker to use as a base to use the factory grill. Looks completely stock. I have a non-Hi-fi system.

In the rear, the magnet hit the seatbelt roller on the passenger side only. I removed the rubber donut on the speaker magnet and it fit perfect.

I mounted the included crossovers in the door pocket and connected them to the original tweeters. Didn't use the MB quart tweeters; I was more interested in keeping the look stock.

As for sound, I have a Becker CDR-220, no amp, and it's a Cabriolet so the sound quality is marginal especially with the top down. My wife is the only one who listens to the stereo. She's happy = I'm happy.

Cost approx. 170.00.

Hope this helps,

D.

Thanks. I'll pull mine, get measurements and then try the above.

Apparently it's important to mount to the door not just the card for best sound. I'm no expert.
