Save some cash and learn how to do it yourself
Jul 09 '00
Installing your own speakers is a fairly straight forward proccess once you understand the basics. For most people, stock locations will be fine for your basic stereo upgrade. If this is the case, it's extremely easy to upgrade your system. Always remember to disconnect your battery at the negative terminal!
The first thing to do is take off the grilles. Car manufacturers have grilles that come off in various ways. The first thing to look for is little tabs that will pop off the grille. If this isn't the case, look for screws. These are fairly straightforward, unscrew and the grilled comes off. If neither of these are found, you'll need to take off the door panel.
In most cars this is done by unscrewing all the hardware on the door and just popping off the panel. Get yourself a haynes manual (about $15) and that'll take you step by step through this proccess.
Once you have the grille off, the next step is to remove the speaker. Unscrew a couple screws, and it'll pop right out.
There should be two wires coming out the back of the speaker, pull them off and remove the old speaker. Connect the wires to your new speaker (they'll only go on one way) and reconnect the negative terminal on the battery to try it out. Once you're sure the speaker works, disconnect the battery, and put everything back together. Installation is the reverse of removal. Do this for the other side, and you've got a pair of rockin' speakers. That wasn't so hard, now was it?
