vaios Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Just one of them is working. Wondering if I can replace them on my own and spare me the hustle. Need some quality sound for motivation. There are no back speakers (don't care at the moment) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
westie Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Very easy. Just find the bolts to get the plastic trim off and the speakers are screwed / bolted to that. I think the wiring is just spade connectors, but it might be soldered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vaios Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 Thanks Westie, I suppose taking of the plastic cover won't brake something else. I ll give it a shot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Pointless changing them imo they are is the worst position ever best off trying to custom make door pods and put them there instead. I changed mine out for alpine replacements years ago and they are still crap in the oem position. Cheers nick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BMX-RIG Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Best thing you can do is put something on the rear shelf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vaios Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 Is there any actual step by step video guide out for ep91? Eg. Run wires, cut holes in the back self or doors. Can I give it shot or just go to the appropriate workshop? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 The wires for rear speakers may be taped up behind the drivers side panel in the boot mine were in my na. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Logsdon Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I just did the ones in the mrs glanza, was a piece of piss 2 small screws and 2 10mm screw bolts.. but as says the 4” speakers are seriously pants, I just bought some vibe replacements from Halfords and some 6x9s worked out around £48.. mine didn’t have the rear speaker wire, so just bought 10m of wire cost £3, and just ran it behind the rear 1/4 and plastic running board, then up along the plastic under the steering wheel.. took around 30-45 minutes. think I’m going to look at cutting and fitting some 6” speakers into the door where the pocket is. this is the only picture I took Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vaios Posted October 26, 2019 Author Share Posted October 26, 2019 Ok so I made a first step and removed passengers cover to see what is what. Although I am skilled in computers I am afraid to touch almost anything in a car that I don't know about. Especially when it comes to voltage etc. I can at least try and replace these which is a cheap solution for starters. Thinking of Sxe-1025s Alpine 10cm 4' I might need your help on connectors. If all goes well I ll need your advice on how to properly run cables to the rear and cut holes for better speakers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maerijn Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 (edited) the speaker will have a + and - on it, just cut off the connector and solder the wires to your new speaker Edited October 27, 2019 by maerijn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vaios Posted October 27, 2019 Author Share Posted October 27, 2019 Any solution that does not require any soldering? 😅 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BMX-RIG Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 You can get adapters that plug onto those connections to avoid soldering. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vaios Posted December 9, 2019 Author Share Posted December 9, 2019 Ok, so it was rather easy after all. Took both panels off cut the old ones and connected 2 new JVC ones. Simple with duct tape, a bit more decent sound. Next step is to run 2 oval speakers to the back like the ones @Logsdon has. Last step is to get the old Clarion unit off and replace it with a modern one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vaios Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 yesterday i also got rid of a relic Clarion and installed a new sony. With a bit of advice from a mechanic friend of mine on the phone i got the wiring done and it plays fine. When someone in here tells me how to remove the inner side plastic things on the floor that hold the carpet i will also install a couple of good 6x9 in the back 😛 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
westie Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 If you take of the plastic trim on the right hand side of the boot (as you look at it with the boot open) you should find a spare plug taped up in the wiring harness. This is for rear speakers, so no need to run a wire from the front yourself! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vaios Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 Hey Westie thanks for this reply. I have already run the first cable up to a point (still need to figure out how to get the rear trims near the wheels off). Is it possible you can make some photos of the spots you mention?

westie Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I'll try and get some photos for you at the weekend mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vaios Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 Thanks man . appreciate it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
westie Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Here's some photos of the plug that should be taped up in the loom behind the panel in the first photo. It's designed to fit into the factory rear speaker parcel shelf as in the last photo, but you'll be able to attach your own plug for aftermarket speakers. Hope that helps!

vaios Posted February 2, 2020 Author Share Posted February 2, 2020 Thanks for taking the time to take these westie. I take a peak at it although I don't get my hopes up since my starlet did not have any speakers at the back. I also need to figure out how to take all the trims out. I did the front trims but not the rear ones yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
westie Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Both my current one (Ep95 Reflet X) and previous one (UK spec EP91 Sportif) didn't have factory rear speakers both both had the plug, it might be there on yours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vaios Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 Can you recall if it was hidden/tucked in inside the trims or it was just there hanging in wait ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
