Re: Speakers up front
There is no mods to with the door, you have to drill a hole in the ring to route the cable thru, it shows in the picture.
I fastened the ring with 6 m5×10mm philips and nyloc nut and washers.
The rings came with the kit.

No it wasn't so hard to route the wires but you need to connect the cables to the original plug and the wiring diagram is written on the stereo.
I just had some spare connectors at home so i don't know the right number on them.
If you can find some other 3,5" speakers then you don't have to modify the clip and fastening ears on them.
I bought them cause they were suppose to fit vw but maybe som older vw.

Re: Speakers up front
And when you have connected the dash speakers they will work straight away but you will get a fault code with vcds.
I don't remember if it was in the stereo or somewhere else i saw the fault code, but it's just to code the radio to 4 speaker instead for the original coding 2 speaker.
But nothing to worry about if you don't have vcds the speakers work anyway and all settings for front and rear speakers comes up in the stereo menu.

Re: Speakers up front
How much did they charge for fitting? I've been eyeing these up but don't fancy tackling them myself

Re: Speakers up front
Skipton offer a free fitting service I think? They're in the North West though so depends where you are I guess. Too far from me so I'd need to self fit.

Re: Speakers up front
They're about 30-40 mins from me I think so well worth a trip if it's free fitting, will send them a message. Cheers for reply

Re: Speakers up front
Very helpful , thanks, and your English is spot on.Torpa wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 10:32 pm I can recommend alpine sxe-2035s 8" 3way for the doors and they come with adapterrings but you have to cut away the plastic ring in the doorcard.
And in the dash i used alpine sxe-0825s 3,5" 2way to fit them you can cut away about 2-3 mm of the edge in the existing speaker hole to fit the new speaker.
I had to modify the speaker and cut away a metalclip on the side of the speaker and drilled new holes for the mounting screws.
I have seen other 3,5" speakers without the clip and better mounting ears.
I connected the dash speaker to the stereo on the rear speaker output so i can adjust the speakers front and rear.
A friend mounted 165mm jvc speakers (same size as original) the play good but compares to my van with dash and 8" door speaker it's like night and day difference in soundquality and it's a really good thud in the base in mine. All is driven by the original stereo rcd310
Well my english isn't the best, hope you can understand.

Re: Speakers up front
How did you get the wires from the stereo to the dash speakers? Sorry for newbie question, never done something like thisTorpa wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2018 12:19 pm And when you have connected the dash speakers they will work straight away but you will get a fault code with vcds.

Re: Speakers up front
Everyone has been a newbie at some point:)
I followed some other wires under the dash and behind the glovebox.
You can use cable ties or tesa fleece tape 51608 to fix the speaker wire to the existing wires, avoid black electrical tape they just get sticky and messy after a year or so.
You will fixit with ease:)

Re: Speakers up front
ive not long fitted some hertz 3 way components, sound is much better than standard, bass is deeper, much more mid and high end range, makes a much more well rounded out and balanced sound. still gonna go for an underseat sub though just for the extra kick on the big bass notes

still need to drill a hole in the dash for the tweeters to sit flush, but they don't rattle around

Haven’t done the underseat sub yet but will do eventually. Need to figure out how to wire it into a standard headunit. Barbel on here has one and he showed me it, really kicks out considering how small it is!

And possible to get links to the speakers? All 3 if poss as the standard speakers just not cutting the mustard.
Did you buy the midrange separately? An 6.5 and tweeter as kit? Any crossovers?
