R32 front speakers

[GTaaargh]

Hi.

I took the trim off my doors on Sunday to find out why the sound was so poor (and why I was getting the scratches on the outside of the window). The speakers are stuft. All the foam surrounding the cone has gone.

Has anyone done a speaker upgrade on their R32 and have a reasonable set of original front speakers left over?

Thanks,

James,

I went through this on the 32 GTR. I think you can get replacements from JAYCAR. I upgraded.

I got the idea from the audio thread that there were no direct replacements available.

I'll check Jaycar out today or tomorrow.

I'm still interested in good quality originals too.

Cheers,

I made thin wooden pods for my gts and put 6.5" component setup in the front and im just about to do the same for the gtr (tommorrow most prolly) bought some jbl splitts to do it with, if you like, i could knock up two extra pods for you. then you can drop in some nice 6inch (or smaller if you wish) or alternatively you can have what i take out, they sound........ok i guess, i just like noise

Sigh..... I dropped by Jaycar at lunchtime. They were really busy and after a long wait I found they no longer sell compatible speakers (or so the sales rep said).

I went to Strathfield, and they managed to sell me a set of JBL gto6426e 4" x 6" oval speakers that screw straight in - no mods. They'll probably just be noise, but I figure I only want to do this once. Apologies for asking, then doing something else.

I can see I'll have to get along to the Jerra pub on Tuesdays. It's about time I made the effort to meet some of you and check out these great cars I keep hearing about.

Regards,

I take back what I said about the JBL speakers fitting. The holes line up, but they're a little too deep to be direct replacements.
