[doc] Re: Replacing rear speakers

["nick12dmc" <Tammyfew@xxxxxxx>]

Trouble is Mark that the rear speakers are a US only size
no mainstream ICE company stock them in the UK.
 
 We were lucky to find the Pryamid units, But if your on a 
budget they are good and a massive improvement over the Craig
units.

The front's I got from Halfords are JBL they were a perfect
replacement for the Craig orignals.
