Hi guys, I'm changing my stereo abit - anyways -
how big are the dash speakers 4inch?
How do you get to them, is it hard or not worth doing?
Cheers Dave

You have to remove a shite load of under dash vents to get to them. A real pain in the backside.
I'd leave them there. What am I saying!? No I wouldn't. You know how much those things weigh?

i am deciding between the 'pain in the ass' factor vs weight loss.

If it's anything like a Scorpion (well, they look similar from the outside) then it's easier to take the whole dash out than even try to get to it under the dash..

Ahhh the challenges of audio installations, if you're replacing them it's worth the hassle in the end, as speakers today are no comparison to the paper cones of yester year.
I've been contemplating the same thing, replace or leave.
I decided on replace ( when the car comes back )
I enjoy music, and good speakers in the front helps to stage the sound better, though they are semi pointed at your feet ( not the best for sound quality
).
In the end i guess it's a personal preference.
A little hassle, pain, sweat, cursing = audio enjoyment.
:D

why not just use some 6.5's in the door with components sitting in some random fashion on the dash

does anyone have the part of the manual that shows the front right speaker and how to remove it??
the front left was easy, i got 6's in waaay easy. Not sure about the other side it looks alot tighter.

Pull the dash out :) Or don't worry about it which would be my preferred option.

Your correct, the front left is easy, but the right is a real pain. The factory 4inch speaker JUST fits, i managed to put a tweater in there, but even that was a pain.
I have a spare dash, so i can take a pic to show you how tight it all is, or come around and check it out if you want.

I didn't bother removing them.
Got some nice Alpine splits hidden in the door now :)
