Dash Speaker Grille

[alanbradley]

HI folks!

A wee while ago I asked about routing cables from my radar detector in a neater way. The suggestions was to feed them through a small hole in the dash-top speaker grille.

Today was the first chance I've had to give it a shot, but I had to give up as I couldn't work out how to get the grille off without mangling it or the surrounding dash-top moulding.

Suggestions?

Answers on a postcard please...

Cheers,

Alan

Edit: Oh no! Sub-heading should read "How do you get it off"

Paper Clip or small bit of bendy wire.. Make a hook, insert into grille hole - pull

You can use your very versatile Yaris key! Whip it down the side and pop it out! Or, a screwdriver, infact, have a look here:

Just pop off the front ones and it just clips itself out of the back.

Have fun!!

He isn't! He's running cables for his radar detector down them!

I used JBL's in my dash... sound lovely!

Duh - sorry ...

Get a set of components clarky and then you can put the tweeters up on the dash, it seems to be the way to go!

Nothing to see mate, components come in 2 parts, a speaker and a separate tweeter! I put the Speakers in the doors and the tweeters under the cover on the dash where the old Speakers used to be! Sounds very good!

[alanbradley]

I'll vouch for that! Sounds pretty impressive.

Haven't got round to doing it tonight due to the snow :) :( (mixed feelings )

Cheers,

Ok - I'm new to the whole car hi fi thing - more focused on the rest ...

I've stuck pair of 13cm infinity rear Speakers in and they make a huge difference and now thinking about upgrading the dash and door Speakers.

The dash ones look easy ... how difficult are the door ones?

Did breezer not post a "how to" a wee while ago?

You have to cut a template or something, but it seemed the trickiest thing was re-fitting the door panels.

Did the dash Speakers today - sounds a lot better already and very easy. Had a quick look at taking the door to bits and wimped out - anyone got a decent guide to removing door panels?
