[doc] Re: Replacing rear speakers

["Phill Wright" <psw@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dan,

I used Pyramid 4108GS 300W 3-way units (they are 4 ohm, no 8 as the 
originals, they are on offer here - only £23.95 pair - free UK 
delivery!

Now, they are 4 x 10 but the magnet is 1/2 inch bigger than the Craig 
jobbies - but if you take the speaker mount brackets out of the car, 
flatten the 3 locating tabs and rebend them wider they will fit fine -
 you also need 2 new 4" jubilee clips as the original ones are too 
small. Also (minor point) on the original Craigs, the -ve connection 
on the spkr is a thin one, the +ve a normal size one, the new spkrs 
both have standard size push connector terminals - I just snapped the 
thin terminals off the old scrap spkrs and soldered em onto the new 
spkr -ve terminal so the original wiring didn't need altering.
The new spkrs are gold mylar cones with twin units centre mounted - 
300W claim is probably more 'Clive Sinclair' power rating rather than 
RMS or Peak, but they are certainly well beefier than the originals. 
I only have the original Craig radio at the moment as my DAB unit 
hasn't landed yet, so have yet to give em a good blast of power :-)
