plasticbadger Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Hi, my 1999 D2 Td5 is fitted with the multi speaker Harmon Karmon stereo system. The problem is, I'm running out of working speakers! First the two woofers in the rear door popped, then the left hand front pillar tweater went and now the left front door tweaters gone So, the question is, what do I replace them with? New I presume are too expensive, second hand aren't cheap either and may be ready to die too, but what about cheap speakers from another source? Your ideas, and or donations are welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissvdh Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 From back in the days when i had a loud stereo in my super fly ford focus i seem to remember Harmon Karmon being rebranded JBL or the other way round... Couldn't be certain though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoggyN Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I'd be wary of using second hand speakers - the foam rubber surround that supports the cone has a life of about ten years - after that they just fall apart. I've had a similar problem with my '98 Rover 800. In the end I just bought new speakers and adapted them to fit the Rover enclosures.

BogMonster Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Yikes. I'll be p***ed off if my eleven speakers go the same way in another couple of years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T1G UP Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 a decent car hi fi place could recomend a retro fit speaker.All the big boys, jbl, alpine,kenwood etc will do them. Halfrauds ok to if you get the rights sales child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasticbadger Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 Thanks guys, it seems track down some suitable new after market ones may be the way forward. Yikes. I'll be p***ed off if my eleven speakers go the same way in another couple of years Well, i'm down 4 speakers out of 11 now and that makes what was a very nice stereo pretty much un-usable. Halfrauds ok to if you get the rights sales child. I went in there earlier for some number plates, two problems, they only had 4 members of staff on including the parts fitter, so I waited 35 minutes to get served and the staff all had an IQ of 45, combined...
