new door speakers!!

[danny_boy]

hey people, ive just brought some new alpine door speakers and ive taken all the door cards and everything apart and removed the old speakers but the new ones wont go on! thers 2 little plastic spike sorta things sticking out wher they should go,
im totally confused on how 2 fit these speakers please help!!

You can either by an adaptor from a car audio shop for like 15 quid for a set (front or back). Or you can make it out of MDF or wood, for this check the DIY section for fitting door speakers. Seems relatively easy, however if you wish to get maximum performance out of them you should wire them up to an amplifier. Hope that helps

i thought u only had 2 make a bracket for the rear doors since they dont hav any speaker holes.
has any1 else fitted alpine speakers in the front doors of their polo's?
i woz thinking about jus cutting the little plastic spikes off and jus screwing the new speakers in,
the other plastic sorta brackets wich came with the speakers seem 2 be quite useless aswell!!
this is really anoying me lol nuthing is ever simple!!!!!

Hi mate i fitted alpine speakers to my doors the other week and with the two plastic bits i literally snapped them off. Hasnt caused any problems after doing this.

Hope this helps

Oh yeah and i literally just screwed the speakers in after that.

[danny_boy]

ah rite, did you use any of them weird plastic brackets you got with the speakers aswell?

[lilpee123]

no didnt use anything that came with the speakers not even the screws just used the old screws.

Cheers

Yeah just snap the little plastic spike things off. I'm sure they're just locating pins for the old speakers.

I fitted Infinity's without the need for adaptors or anything.

Yeah was the same on my 6N - i took some nice handy pliers and chopped the buggers off. Just screwed them in after that - no problems
