How to - Replace the front Bose speakers with Alpine 6.5" speakers (spacer)

[glrnet]

This mod makes use of the old Bose speaker casing as a mount or spacer for the new speakers.

 

 

I've been meaning to do this since I did Buster's speaker wiring mod to my Alpine HU. Anyway I had a pair of speakers kicking around that a customer didn't want:-

 

 

So took the door cards off and removed the old speakers:-

 

 

Then I cut the old speakers out of the casing and Dremelled the lip so the new speaker would sit neatly in the old casing:-

 

 

Secured the new speaker into the old casing and added new cables ready to connect to the old loom:-

 

 

And remounted the old casing with new speaker to the door:-

 

 

I'm really pleased with the improved sound quality with is certainly sharper and I think I'll probably change the rears now too, certainly seem to be on the audio slippery slope now

When you say "Anyway I had a pair of speakers kicking around that a customer didn't want", does that mean you have a car audio shop?

If so are there any discounts for members?

Nice job, love an audio thread. That's by the far the best contribution those "Bose" speakers will make to any music.

I think you'll have to take his non response as a no
