Factory Speakers

[HalM]

This is pretty mundane info, but I thought I would pass it along.

I have a '99 with standard stereo and speakers. The fronts were totally shot so I started researching replacements. While there are ways to mount new 4" speakers or better in the car, it seemed like a project that I didn't really want to take on, especially since the car will be used mostly for DE's.

Then a couple of weeks ago when I was at the dealer picking up a few other parts, I asked about factory replacement speakers. And sure enough, they are available from Germany, even in my Savannah Beige color. And my cost would be under $130. BINGO! For my needs, that was a winner.

They came in this week and it took all of 10 minutes to install them. The extra added bonus was these had tweeters while my originals did not. Maybe my car is a really early build (I haven't looked) but this was a pleasant, positive, surprise. I know this is not a solution for the audiophiles in the crowd, but for someone just wanting decent sound at a reasonable price, this is pretty good.

Glad it worked out for you. I think it's a good update, because even if you stick with factory speakers, the OEM speakers in a 1999 model are essentially 12 years old now. Getting a fresh, new speaker in place is bound to improve your sound quality.

Thanks for the info on new speakers. Can you post the part number?
