Front speaker wiring

[mk2mark]

Swapping the wires over won't make much difference at all it'll just change the phase of the speakers.

Yeah I don't think its that... More like I've blown the speaker! Any recommended replacement? (3.5")?

I tried a pair of JBL 3" speakers for my Mk2 dashboard and they were too big depth-wise - chunkier magnet was the main problem. Otherwise, the fit was good. Back to the old farting speakers until I can find suitable replacements.

I had that problem with the JBL's, switched to Inifinty and they go in a lot easier, good sound too.

Sounds good.
Which model are they and where did you get them??

Cheers.

Thanks for the link. The spec puts the mounting depth at 1-7/16". That looks like a fit.

I bought JBL's and also had a bit of a problem, but nothing that a hack saw couldn't solve. Didnt actually need to trim much off to be honest..

replacement wise i got some alpine sxe i got the 10cm i had to cut bigger holes in the dash coz the originals are 8cm i want a new head unit really as its the standard unit from 1990, its mega distorted when turned up and the bass is shot!! but the speakers are working well and are good quaility when compared to others fairly chheap to £30 i think.
