Does anyone have a good copy of the years-old speaker replacement guide? The link is no longer active from the thread and I just picked up a set of Hertz components to replace the crap stock JBL. Thanks!
Yeah. I looked over that. He referenced the guide by sparky so I was hoping to find that. No worries now though, I changed out the component set in front last night with a set of Hertz deicis and they sound awesome. Now I gotta buy another set for the back and get a small sub to fill in the low freq for me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ GS4 'cause I rock like that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Awesome. Thanks! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ GS4 'cause I rock like that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Even better. That'll help me with the sub later ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ GS4 'cause I rock like that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the jbl system has separate wires from the amp for the front tweeters, because the crossovers are built into the amp. otherwise everything is the same. i think the jbl uses 3 ohm speakers; 4 ohm shouldn't hurt the amp when replacing 3 ohms.
just fyi, today i took the speaker out of my rf door and found that without some sort of spacer or mounting ring, the maximum depth for the front woofer is 2 1/4", unless perhaps one of those neodymium magnet woofers will fit. they have very small diameter magnets just like the junk oe speakers the diameter of the cutout is just a hair over 6 1/8". hope this helps someone. i've got to return the woofers i though would fit, or else find a spacer.
no pix. the rear speakers are just screwed to the door. plenty of room for a big magnet in the rear doors. i had to drill a couple holes, used spray on insulation on the back of the door skins and i lined the door with duct insulation instead of dynamat cause dynamat is heavy and expensive. the duct insulation i used is 1' wide 1/8" thick foam w/ glue on 1 side and aluminum foil on the other. i have seen other stuff at home depot that would work probably just as good w/ a little 3m spray glue. i got some spacers coming for the front door speakers. i'm gonna have to trim the inside of the door panel to get em to fit. drill a few holes... i used the oe wiring cause i didn't need a power amp.
Is it incredibly hard for a novice or rather a first timer to do this DIY Speaker/Components/Console replacement by himself? I can say I have a general clue of things I have to do and I am alright with power tools as well. I guess I need some heads up, guidance and a lot of confidence-boost to take a go at it. I mean there are a few projects that I wanna do to my Pri but the very first one being getting it to thump some more.
if you can work a screw driver, drill and ruler, its a piece of cake. rear doors are easier cause you won't need spacers unless you want 8" woofers, even w/ low profile 8"s you'd have to cut the doors or use spacers. you will want 4 ohm speakers. to remove the door panels you don't want to get too rough popping the clips out or you'll break the door panel where the clips go on it. if you've ever installed car speakers, its not difficult. for the fronts, you only have 2.25" clearance when the window is down. i've picked some smaller drivers for the front and still need 1" spacers. i'm gonna have to cut the door panel-- there is a ring that goes around the oe speaker made into the door panel.
