Default Anyone changed the speakers in a WP Fez?

See title.
I know some people have had it done at audio places, but are there DIYers like myself out there who have done it at home?

Swaytans install the photo's don't work, but it'll give you some idea.

If you go to the bottom of the forum page to the display mode, change, from the [last month] to [beginning] & go thread mining way back.

Ive done the Audio in WP countless times and its actually quite easy if you know what to do. The main thing to concider is you need slimline replacement speakers for the rear as if its too high you will need to modify the speaker recess (a hammer will fix that just ask PHOTN).

Just shoot me PM Fled as to what you wanna do and ill postup the procedure here so others can use it.

Kiwijohn, yeah I remember Swaytan's thread, but I was after some pics as well.

Jim, if you could do that I'd appreciate it.

Damo, I was thinking of simply replacing the stock speakers with better ones. No extra speakers or subs.


I'm no audiophile, so I don't need the full sound system setup for "bangin' choons". I'm quite happy with the stock head unit, it's capable enough to handle my heavy metal music (headbangin' choons? LOL).

Awesome Stuff Fled. I only replaced the front + rears (but did have subs) all running off the stock HU and it did the Job nicely.

Ive attached some documentation to take off the Front and Rear Door Cards (3door + 5 Door WP-WQ).
