Front speaker wiring
« on: 01 January 2008, 17:43 »
I can't quite reach the wires to the front speakers (on top of the dash)... Any way to get easier access? Remove the air vent in front of it? (If so, how!?!?)

Cheers  :smiley:

Just a silly question, but have you removed the dash?

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Nope!

A wire broke off one of my speakers, and I can hardly reach it through the top of the dash... Getting a new windscreen soon, so might be easier to do it with no screen, but preferably like to do it before!

sounds like is a  dash surround out job

not that had work since the stereo is out already

just a load of screws and the heater controls and the switches to unplug

30 minutes max to remove- extend the wires ( they are tight as it is, i just had to redo mine )  and refit it all back in  :wink:

Remove the small cover the shape of a slanted square and remove the screw behind it. Then take off the speaker cover. Then you need a really really short screw driver to undo the screws holding the speaker in place. Carefully lift the speaker and the cables should come with it. :wink:
