[doc] Speakers

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All

For a while now we've been selling replacement speakers both front and 
rear. There are problems associated with both which I'll go into here

Fronts: Although 3.5" speakers are readily available, you have to be 
careful to buy ones that can be mounted flush with the surface they are 
bolted to. The tweeter cannot sit proud and the mounting "ears" need to 
fit across the original studs in the dashboard. We originally had 
Pioneer units which were a perfect fit but recently these have become 
unavailable. We're replacing them with even better speakers but which 
are slightly more of a challenge to fit because the "ears" not being 
flush with the outer edge, but they can be mounted to the dash without 
risk of tearing the grill.

Rears: 4x10" speakers are very uncommon in this country. In fact, as far 
as I know the only ones that are available are US imports. For some time 
we were supplying the Kicker K410 which has now been discontinued by the 
manufacturer. I have trialled a pair of the speakers that Phil has 
posted a link to but was very unimpressed (but you definitely can't 
complain for the price, but I think speakers definitely fall into the 
realm of "you get what you pay for"). After a lot of searching, I 
tracked down an alternative quality 4x10" speaker which is exactly the 
correct size and drops right in. When you open the box, you definitely 
see where your money goes :-)

Soooooo - basically you can buy a quality set of speakers from DMUK, but 
don't expect miracles. The fronts are small and the rears have no 
enclosure. Still streets ahead of originals though!
