Justthejedi Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Hi, I have been quoted £150 labour charge to swap all 4 speakers which sounds a lot to me, I was thinking more along the lines of £60-£80? Does anyone know how long it would take and is it easy or tricky? One garage didn't even want to do it and another one didn't ring back with a price. Anybody local to me with the expertise fancy doing it for cash in hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bradders- Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I'd always take a crack at it myself, i used to do audio installation on weekends! done loads of builds but i heard the bose system can be a bit tricky! There's probably a guide on the site somewhere! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 You could use your Jedi Mindtricks and get it done for free But honestly, door speakers can be done in an hour and rears in about the same. Not that hard to do yourself to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that hard to do yourself to be honest Ha ha! I tried "You will fit my speakers for free" but my powers are weak these days , he still said £150. You got me thinking now maybe I should have a go.

BulletMagnet Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Shame I'm too far away too But if you take your time and read up on how to remove door cards and the plastics in the back, you should be good to go http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/33656-running-aftermarket-speaker-wire-to-the-doors/ http://liljerk.morpheus.net/350Z/front_speakers/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Couple of hours work on a nice afternoon, will feel a lot more satisfaction doing it yourself and £150 still in your pocket towards more mods. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shire350Z Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I'm about to do this myself as well, reading up shouldn't be that much of a job! Can't bare the skipping Bose anymore just want to try and keep the steering wheel controls as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 We did it on Busters Zed - really easy just get an airsaw and a big disk sander You can get into them in no time with that setup Only joking we were doing this - looked good finished though 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't bare the skipping Bose anymore just want to try and keep the steering wheel controls as well How did you manage all these years? Basically if you can do a window reset, you can install speakers (in terms of getting door card off) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justthejedi Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 Thankyou guys, really appreciate the positivity and responses on this, I'm going to have a crack at it myself, are there any special tools needed to remove the plastics without breaking them? Do I need any electrical parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 10mm socket, Philips screwdriver, I pair of human hands, speakers, speaker wire (unless re-using existing wiring), tea / coffee (delete as appropriate), patience, common sense. All I can think of right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So these should be a massive improvement over the standard ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooch Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Porbably a bit late now but If you don't want to destroy the originals use these: http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/nissan-micra-almera-speaker-adapters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
