No clue if anyone is interested, but hey...
When I bought my estate it had the 'full' oem kit in (i.e. front door mids, front door tweeters and tailgate 'full range').
All of it is horrible. Ok, so the front right wasn't working (fixed by cleaning pillar multiplug) and the cd deck wasn't either, but it wasn't worth bothering trying to fix.
Job 1. Remove oem h/u. Easy as it was missing the surround (p.o. loosely slung it back in after removing his own).
Job 2. Fit 'new' h/u. Had to swap perm and switched live in the ISO because Peugeot...

Job 3. New door speakers. I cba to be chopping the original loom (drizzle...) so I made adaptors by lopping chunks off the old speakers

then soldering little flyleads for new

pop them in and do up screws, stick covers on

Fronts done for now. I left the oem tweeters in the loop, but this is probably getting redone later anyway.
Job 4. Rears. A bit more involved, but made up same 'adaptors' and set to easing them in.
Original vs. new:

And a wider view

And for the moment, that's all I've done.
I have to double skin the tailgate trim panel with mdf to stiffen it all up, so photos of that will come when I get to it. Then, amp and a pair of 12"s will be going in.
The whole thing is a bit fluid though, so bits that have been done are likely to change as new ideas arrive.
Still, huge improvement so far.
