So swapped the rear speakers this afternoon. f*ck me the old ones were shagged, you can see where the suspension round the cone has cracked, one of the speakers was completely unattached. Thats gotta be half the reason for it sounding so terrible.
New ones were a pain because of the size of the magnets, had to bend and batter the metal of the rear shelf to get the hole large enough that the speakers would drop in (and its still not perfect). Fitting the speakers in the upper shelf was easy, the irwin knife just cut straight through.
I cant get a pic of them in the car cos its snowing and they dont photograph well from inside. Im dreadding taking apart the fronts and finding out how bad they are. I dont suppose having the speakers rated to 35w and then running a 50w per channel stereo through them flat out has done them alot of good..
