speakers - anywhere but Halfrauds?
The speakers have given up in the Red one. I assumed that the standard 4-screw type would be available off the shelf but my old local car radio shop had disappeared and Halfords had about three speakers on show, none the right size and all at silly money. Any ideas where I can get a new pair at a sensible price?? Presumably online.....?
Re: speakers - anywhere but Halfrauds?
I can't say anything about prices but I've dealt with this company for the best part of forty years and I doubt anyone knows more about in car entertainment the them

Re: speakers - anywhere but Halfrauds?
I bought some JVC ones for around £15 from Motorworld for mine - it was a couple of years back so may be slightly more now.
They slotted in quite well behind the grills in the door, and I don't think I even had to redrill the mounts.

The Alpine SXE-1325 s take a lot of beating for the money. Better sound than the originals too. Lots on ebay. Buy.

Re: speakers - anywhere but Halfrauds?
That's what I have in my red one, and am very happy with the sound too.
Re: speakers - anywhere but Halfrauds?
Maplin had straight replacements when I needed some a few years ago, but they were on offer, normally
probably a bit expensive for what they are.

Just bought a pair of 13cm alpine 200w speakers for my TZD, on ebay, for £20... unbeatable!
Re: speakers - anywhere but Halfrauds?
I notice the alpines mentioned above are coaxial - do the tweeters fowl the speaker cover?

Re: speakers - anywhere but Halfrauds?
I've seen other efforts where they have actually had to either cut the cover grill to accommodate the tweeter, or just leave them off.
However these
sit nicely,

Re: speakers - anywhere but Halfrauds?
Ah - my mistake. I actually have the Alpine SXE-1350S, which are not coaxial.
They fit as though they were designed for the BX - the original yellow connector on the door loom just plugs straight in, and the tweeter is dead easy to mount in the dash (although you will need to connect it to the original leads somehow).

Re: speakers - anywhere but Halfrauds?
I don't know the specific model no. of the tweeters, but they came as a set, boxed as SXE-1350S.
Re: speakers - anywhere but Halfrauds?
Would my valver have the wiring in situ for tweeter install? Mat, fancy doing some ICE work?
