Re: [DML] Stock Speakers: (WasTo Cut or Not to Cut)

["BRUCE BENSON" <delornut@xxxxxxx>]

Removing the seats makes things a lot easier. It's only eight nuts total. I have a small bench about the same height as the DeLorean's threshold and instead of getting all the way into the car I lay across the bench and I'm only in the car from just below the shoulders up.

  Due to the contortion factor, I found this to be one of the worst 
  tasks I've attempted on my D in the year-and-a-half I've had it. 
  Getting in-and-out of the tight spaces holding a flashlight in my 
  aching jaw, dropping the nuts in my eyes more than once and having 
  to get wriggle back out from under the dash to find them, etc., was 
  pure agony. A pair of safety glasses with lights would be worth 
  considering...

  The speakers themselves were no problem... I bought a pair of Bosch 
  3.5's for $30 at Fry's Electronics. They had just a very slight 
  center dome protrusion. They'll handle 40 watts or so. I just 
  didn't crank 'em down hard when reinstalling and haven't noticed any 
  rattling or dash problems.

  Fortunately, since then, John Spangler came up with a relatively 
  painless way to accomplish the speaker replacement task using a 
  little glue and a mirror. Check out his front speaker project at 
  johnspangler.com and plan before you work! Your back will thank 
  you.
