b5 avant bose

[fil]

what size are the front and rear speakers, looking to replace them.

do the bose grills pop off, or do you have to remove the complete door card?

[S4INT]

Not sure what size they are - look about 5.5-6 inch? You have to remove the door card to get at the speakers - they are screwed in from the back.

Make sure you don't forget to undo the "secret" screw under the piece of plastic trim on the door handle...

5in in the front and 6in in the rear t access them you have to take the door cards off ! Focal work really well and fit straight in

hows the door card come off? have a screew in each top corner and one behind the handle, secret screw, where be that then? and then is it a case of pull it off?

Are those sizes for an avant or is it just 5in in the front

That's it - three screws, then just pull the door card up (vertically)

ah 2 hidding screws under the handle, thought it was on a bit tight,

well didnt messure but seems abount a 4" speaker, should beable to squeez a 5 1/4" in there, tho need to make up an mdf ring bracket to mount them.

There are some fitting adaptors here http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product ... 18b6a2d7c9 which would suggest that the speakers are 13cm/5 inch or at least this is what will fit.

Remember that if you've got Bose then you have to buy 2ohm speakers, which are not very popular, can't remember who makes them.

ah 2ohm pain in the arse, well loosely fitted one of a pair of £40 component jbls, i had lying around and switch the balance from left to right, there was a noticeable diffence.

the jbl sounded slight clearer and less of a walloyee echoey sound, tho 4 ohm may fit them, will see how it sounds when if fitted the pioneer?

[reserves]

I seem to remember actually that someone said on here that 4ohms should be ok, but they *should* be 2ohm, I might have imagined that though!

I did track these down http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product ... ts_id=4256 (no I don't work for Car Audio Direct, just a good place to find stuff!)

yep its a handy site for all bits and bobs, as per the other thread, http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product ... ts_id=2490

hmm wonder if halfords have any, i know they do the basics, will have a look in a bit if not ill have to fork out £40

pioneer screen all fitted via the convertor lead to the bose speakers sounds better!
