Default Door Speakers

Hi all, yet another question from me...

After doing some research, have decided I'm not going to install headrest speaker into the S2000. I don't plan on having the car long enough for it to bother me. What I am planning on doing is replacing the door speakers and twitters.

How easy is it to replace the door speakers, I’m not sure I have the confidence to do this… also, what speakers would anyone recommend, guess I need some component speakers.

Many thanks
Henry

Here's an installation guide

You will need component speakers 6.5" in size here's a selection.

You may need some spacer rings to get these to fit. About £5 from Ebay.

I am running a set of 6.5 JBL components.

With my new head unit they sound awesome.

I am completely useless with anything practical, but I managed to upgrade my door speakers.

This is something i have been meaning to get around to for ages. Anybody got any experience of these?

http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/alpine-spe...llow-mount.html

It states that they are shallow mount speakers so they may not need the spacers?

I've got an Alpine headunit with ipod so they may go well together...

I had those spooned once on a previous car they are very lacking in mid range punch. Id go for something better and some spacers, I can't decide between JL Audio C2's and C5's currently.
