Hi

Has anyone got a guide or can let me know how to remove the front speakers and tweeters from the Megane please.

I found a very helpful PDF to replace the rear speakers on a 5 door. I would like a little guidance on the fronts and tweeters please.

For those interested. Here is the link to the rear speaker removal PDF

Regards
Paul.

Take the covers of the tweeters with a small screwdriver (wrap the end in tape to protect the trim).

The ones in the door - simply pull the trim off starting by the door hinge

Absolutely, the door speakers are just held in with a couple of screws, torx ones if I remember correctly.

Cover the holes that are arrowed with some gaffer tape, it'll firm the bass up a bit too

just bare in mind the depth of new speakers.

you dont want to be cutting off the rain deflector - its crucial as if deflects rain from comming inside the door. somethig that my installers didn't think about!! hahha

Thanks both.

I have ordered Pioneer TS-Q131c for the front and TS-E1396 for the rear. So I wont need to cut any rain deflectors.

Just under £120 delivered from here Next day delivery too

I should get them today.

I have my Gaffer tape ready and will be fitting them later this evening.

Paul.

Good look Paul, let us know how you get on. I'd be interested to know what the rears are like, I havent gotten around to replacing them yet.

I have not long finished installing my new speakers.

It took me just over 2 hours to install the lot! Front and Back.

The back ones were a little tough but after you do the one side the other side is a lot easier.

The performance is better although I was expecting more. They dont distort like the originals but they dont handle the bass like I expected.

I have a company car at the moment a ford focus, I have fitted my own HU so I can play mp3 cds. Now the sound from the speakers in that car is really good, deep bass and can handle it at a loud volume. I dont feel the Pioneer ones I just installed in the Megane will perform the same? Do they need to wear in a little first?

Anyway all in all they are better than the originals that were replaced.

Yes they do get better when they are run in. Do you have the factory headunit in still? It is a bit underpowered really

I have the sony head unit installed.

Sony CDXGT610U

lol....

I dont think my girlfriend would approve...

What sub? Do you have one?

I just have a Fli active sub in the boot, not a chavvy boy racer type of install at all :-)

Made a real big difference to the sound.
