So my passenger side door speaker has gone fuzzy and just doesnt sound right, so it looks like it may be time to replace it (if i replace one i will go ahead and do both).

Is this an easy swap? i know i have to take off the door panel to get to it, but will i have to cut wires or is it a plug-up deal?

Also some suggestions on what speakers to buy would be helpful!

Thanks

 

Get Sony or Jensen, or a good brand, you might have to pigtail the factory, the terminals on the new speakers are smaller than he factory and will fall off.

 

The right channel of the radio could have fried also. Just had to replace my radio because the right channel fried.

 

hmm dont know much about channel fried,

but the speaker kinda has the harsh crackly sound to it, but the left one seems to be fine.

Ill look into it.

and the terminals are smaller on the new ones? Im not the best at electrical work, but that shouldnt be a problem

 

It will also do that if the speaker wires are grounding out.

 

ok i'll look at that before i go out and buy new speakers!

 

I replaced my two speakers in my truck. They were missing so I had no choice. Not sure how the factory stuff is, but mine hooked right up. I put in 2 Kicker DS series speakers. They sound great!

 

did they fit right in the stock slots in the doors?
what size are they (3.5?) and about how much do they cost?

Hehe question overload!

 

they did fit fine... i ordered them from crutchfield. They are I believe 6.5, not sure though. Even the screw holes matched up. And they sound awesome

 

Make sure you test the speakers to see if they fit or not. They're 6.5 inch speakers. I bought some for my truck and they didn't fit because different brand speakers design the basket on the back of the speaker differently. Some just dont "seat" right in the speaker hole. I bought a different brand of 6.5 inch speakers and they fit perfect.
