To increase the sound quality and loudness of the music in your car, you can swap out the factory speakers for some decent aftermarket ones. Now most stock car stereo systems are cheaply made and put together because music is not the main selling point for car manufacturers. Aftermarket parts are made to enhance your music experience, as lots of time and research gets put into development to come out with a better final product. Installing car speakers is not as hard as its made out to be. In fact if you good with a screwdriver, you can save yourself some money by doing it yourself and not taking it down to one of them expensive car audio shops. I got myself a nice pair of JBL component speakers for the front and took them down to my local car audio shop to be fitted. He goes it will take a day to fit and the charge would be 150 pounds! That is the most ridiculous quote i have heard in car audio history, its not about taking care of your customer these days its all about making money. Car audio shops back in the 90s were more helpful and down to earth than todays owners. So i took my speakers and drove of back to my garage with a cup of tea in my hand.
I then researched online to see how hard it really would be to install. I have now actually installed them into my car, its now been 2 years and they are still bumping hard. Now to help you guys out, i have come up with an easy to understand guide with simple instructions to help you install car speakers in your door. Realistically, the complete car audio installation process should take no longer than 15 minutes for each door.
1) You will need to remove the plastic door card panel, since behind this there will be a car speaker placed at the bottom corner. Remove all the little screws that you can see, some may even be hidden under little plastic taps.
2) Push the door card upwards and unclip it off all corners its attached onto. Lift it upwards towards the window, unplug any connectors that go to the window or mirror switches and place it down out of the way.
3) Remove the screws that are holding the speaker in place into the hole inside the door. Then remove the two speaker wires attached onto the terminals.
4) Obtain your replacement car speaker you want to find and reconnect the speaker wire onto the new set of terminals. Ensure that you connect them the correct way around or else the cone will be moving backwards affecting bass and sound quality.
5) Reinsert the screws and using a screwdriver screw them nice and tightly. While you are at it, you might as well apply some layer of sound deading material across the metal parts of the door. This will stop any unwanted nasty vibrations and rattles from your newly installed car speakers.
