Hi there all, very new here, was looking around at a cheap runaround car but got this KS Verada for an absolute bargain and very very happy with it, intend to keep for a while.

Just a few questions:

a) How do you remove the speakers to replace them. do the front door trims need to come off or can you get away with just removing the spealer pod / map tray. Are they 6" or 6.5". Which size tweeters fit in the cover on the inside of the side mirror, I noticed there was a little triangular clip that pops out for the tweeter. I was looking at the jaycar splits but not sure if the tweeter may be too deep. Is the bass driver depth OK.

b) With the back speakers does the parcel tray need to come out as it appears the speaker grills are fastened somehow, it's looks like they're screwed down from inside the boot and the screws for the speakers are under the parcel tray.

c) Do you think I should do away with the dash speakers as they will sound pretty crap as I intend to have the jaycar splits front and back and a 10" JBL Sub in the boot running off a few jaycar amps of cause.

d) How about the standard wiring, should that be OK, I know I'll ned heavier wiring for the amps but just curious about the speakers.

I thought in the older Verada / Magna that they have like 4inch speakers mounted in the dash?

Some door pods will fix that though! Plently of custom installations done with them!

Yes they do have the 4" in the dash which I want to do away with, they also have the door pods as well as rear speakers.

Cheers

Door speakers... You'll need to pull the trim off. Door speakers are 6 inch. Tweeters won't fit in the mirror triangles.

Parcel rack is built into the car and covered by a sheet of carpet, speakers and grilles will be bolted directly to the metal shelf.

Piss the dash speakers off, they suck.

Standard wiring is ok, but upgrading never hurts.

I just posted a little guide about 2nd gen speakers in this section cos i had seen this question asked quite a few times. Check it out.

Pretty sure those are the spots for the tweeters in the 2nd gen radas or did they just put those stupid plastic shelf things in there to piss everyone off?

Thanks for that Parker, could you link me to the guide please, I'm curious.

Regards
Michael
