[GT4JR]

Did anyone replace the door speakers for a better quality sounding ones? what model/specs was used? Thanks!

I have a gal in the facility at this time receiving an upgrade; as I recall Ash is installing Focal speakers and in this gal's case she came from Canada so she is receiving an amp and a subwoofer too.

Thanks Shadowman! Can either you or Ash give me the model #, size, etc. for the speakers going in the doors? Much appreciated!

I'm trying to revive an old post here.... I pulled my door panel off this weekend for another reason and noticed the stock speaker is trash. Any suggestions for Focal or other replacement speakers?

They are not the best quality, but they are easily repaired if the foam is disintegrated.

You sure did, and it was your 1st post, after being here for nearly 2 years! Welcome!

Standard radio or midrange for Mac?

I have the McIntosh and I usually do not have it on, on my drives, unless I want some background music, but I will say sometimes I sit in the garage with is on and I am quite impressed with the McIntosh unit. I feel that the separation and the mix of the highs is well defined, with the sub it also brings up the lows quite nicely, I always have the setting on flat. I have in my house several systems and by far my favorite is my McIntosh C22III with 2 MC301's with power my B&W 801 series II speakers...

I would get the original speakers reformed it you have the McIntosh speakers.

Bookojj, just to clarify: When you said "trashed" did you mean the foam or rubber surrounds were falling apart? Or something else?

 

[bookojj]

Thanks for the replies guys and the warm welcome. This is a much more helpful forum than I'm used to!!! I have the non-Mc system. In fact I have none of the 4 options. The car changed hands 4 or 5 times before I got it, so it has been an archaeological dig every time I have issues. The speaker cones were fine, but the the surround foam is trashed.

At this point I would NOT buy used speakers. The foam surround deteriorates with time. It seems to be resilient for about a dozen years, and then suddenly falls apart. I've experienced this on many brands of speakers. The butyl rubber surrounds do not fall apart like foam. Heat and humidity don't help matters, but the surrounds seem to last about the same time whether in dry or humid climates.

 

[Sinovac]

I agree with Pete. You’re better off buying the foam kit.

I ended up putting in Polk Audio DB522 for the time being. I'll have the OEM speakers rebuilt, but this was a good short term solution. They sound fine, but since I don't have the Mac, the head unit isn't much by way of output...
