Audio help please - front door speakers

[Darren S]

Went to swap out my OEM door speakers in the 182 to a pair of Alpine SXE-1325S. Appears to be two minutes of job, but the pin-outs are in the wrong direction - as seen below.

Is there and adapter block or something similar that I can buy to make them align? I know absolutely nothing about car stereos or speakers.

Hopefully can get these sorted as the OEM ones were both broken on their outer ring (top left of the picture) and held in place by a single screw. No doubt that didn't help with the vibration and noise at all.

 

[Daz...]

These should do the trick.

Pardon our interruption...

Legend mate - thanks for that. Just ordered now.

20 years worth of crap, dust and broken fixings behind each. Glad I’m changing them tbh.

 

[Daz...]

I’m amazed they lasted this long, mine died a long time ago.

I’m sure the drivers door speaker or the little dash ones are gone on mine. I’d love to keep the OEM stuff in but I also know zero about ICE. I’ll keep an eye on your progress….

Aren’t those alpines full range speakers? If they are, you’ll be having a treble-fest in the front.

Good spot, they need to be put in the back with a set of components in the front.

For those who are not well informed. Like me
What speakers would you recommend in the front? SPG-13C2? I can see that Darren also used a set of these.

I have the SPG-13CS in the front of mine, which replaces both the door and dash speakers.

Any half decent component set will be better than the originals at this point.

How are the new speakers, Darren? I need a new set for the front of mine but don’t want to pay a fortune.

I just replaced my front woofers with Audison AP5's, much better bass. Will probably change the rears to APX5 too at some point.

 

[ex-Chinese Dave]

How much did you pay for them? They seem to be over £100 on eBay.

Fine for me at the minute. I have got a bit of rattle in the drivers side, but I don’t think it’s the speaker area. Need to check at some point.
