How to replace the front speakers

What size are the front speakers?

The front speakers are 5" x 7" speakers, the distance between screws are 10.5cm X 12.4cm. Mostly, only Ford moto uses this size of speaker, so you can get the speakers made by American company (as I know). The one on the photo is JL 2 way speaker, I bought a set for $105 from a stereo shop, but I saw it on the eBay with "Buy-It-Now" price of $70 and $15 shipping (total $85).

The space on the door panel is actually smaller than the speaker's face. I guess this make it does not sound so good. If you really want a good sound in the front, it's best to get "component speakers", which includes a mid-range, a tweeter and a crossover. However, they don't make an oval shape so it is hard to fit. These type of speakers usually cost at least $250 for a good set.

How to replace them

• Take off the door panel
  • As the picture indicates, there are four screws you have to take out
  • Remove the door panel carefully, there are several plastic connectors and clips, they are easly broken

    

  • Leave the door handle just like the picture shows, don't worry about the handle
• Take out the four screws on the speaker, put new speakers.
