Speaker installation 50 miles to brighton
Hello all,
I have attempted to get my head around installing a new pair of components speakers onto my connie (R75) and don't think I have the the tools, materials or the experience to deal with it. Is there anyone within a 50 mile radius area of brighton that can fit some speakers (integrated within the door)? I probably need better wiring to be installed with it from the head unit to the crossover and speaker/tweeters I have selected. Can drive X miles to get there or if they are mobile great, I can pay for fuel for you to get here. I am game when I get cash for it within three weeks. I tried Huets in hove that quoted me £200 just for having them cut into the door cards using the original wiring (even I can do that and I don't think it is worth that in the slightest!) Thanks if anyone can deal with this predicament, stu

Thanks for all the amazing help!
So now apart from my contact with Cool cat and my arrangements with him, Don't reply to any of these posts or reply any more to these threads as I've just had enough of the elitist smugness of people that think they know everything and point their fingers and laugh instead of offering help and advice!
PM's are for constructive comments not being nasty so the mods don't see it, I was genuinely trying to ask for help and I just got the complete opposite!

Cut and shut as in replacing the original speaker mesh on the door card. I upgraded my speakers on my last car and used the plastic holder that held the speakers to the door skin. The speakers are only screwed to the plate so can be modified without too much hassle to fit your own.

thanks cool cat
It seems though I'm on top of it now. But coolcat I will still be requiring you help a bit down the line in my secondary phase of my system upgrade that will be installing parcel shelf speakers, a bass port and new wiring (for once I upgrade all the speakers i'm running the whole lot off a seperate amp, i don't know if I can use the original loom for that or have to upgrade the wiring as these speakers are much heavier than the original rover soap box speakers). Thanks for the support and thanks for the quick reply to quote (as I said still useful as I still need help with the next phase of my speaker upgrade).
P.S: I know that fitting a bass port and parcel shelf spks are hard work, but I will pay you much extra. Ill have to talk to you closer to the time, probably be at the end of feb to beginning of march. Thanks cool cat!
