Pic of finished tweeter attached for interest .

Thanks folks, but I was stubborn about keeping original a pillar position. A couple of evenings with a hacksaw, file and superglue did the trick! Sounding good :D

Hi, Just replacing the stock speakers with some alpine components. The doors were a swift enough job - but the tweeters... The alpine ones are bigger then the stock ones so I have attacked the plastic mounting bracket with a hacksaw and a stanley knife... There is almost bugger all left and...

Head unit in car - sounding SOOO much better :)

Managed to get a stock shelf with speakers for £20. Havent got it yet but plan is to use as it comes till funds allow, then use as a base to upgrade... Full plan and pics to follow :)

Should that have been included in the adaptor and wasnt - or is that something that needs to be done seperately..?

Great - thanks folks. Last time I installed a head unit in a k11 it lost time, stations etc whenever I turned it off so I reckon I did something wrong in the wiring...

Hi folks I have a new Alpine head unit for my '96 K11. Any idea how I can find out what wiring adaptor I need so I have all the bits ready before I start fitting..? If anyone knows - or knows of an online tool that will tell me - appreciate it!

Not sure that applies if the money was spent on petrol collecting the item... Looking for how to get the best sound - the speakers will most likely be alpine, but how to fit - standard shelf, wait for an OEM speaker shelf, or go mdf... thoughts?

Would love to buy it mate - but I am in Salisbury... There was another one on ebay I saw near clapham junction for £20 - cheap as chips. By the time you add on petrol or train fares though...

Just did a bit of a Google and read - never realized how many hot debates there are over 6x9 versus 6" - loads of technical stuff but I liked this concluding point I found to get great sounding oval speakers you have to spend allot of money. You can buy a huge number of round speakers that...

Cheers mate - Aftermarket 6" fitted to the standard parcel shelf you mean..?

Going to sort out a new head unit later this month and have found what I presume are the connectors for rear speakers after following directions in another thread... now decision time: 1. Put some Alpine 6X9s into the parcel shelf, possibly with some dynamat as the shelf seems a little...

Cheers folks - will ask them to check Super S in the parts catalouge, if not will take off wheel and check for numbers!

Couple more tries - any thoughts..? If you know these were standard on a particular type or model it may help the search... They look like standard nissan micra alloys to me - but seem to have foxed the parts desk...
