I'm scrapping my Primera in a few days so thought I would rip the rear speakers out and put them in the Micra.
The main reason was I wanted them to look standard fit.
I don't like the attention a set of 6x9s get from thieves.
1. I made a 5 Inch template.
2. Marked the middle of the parcel shelf. Then marked the speakers out evenly and drew around the template.
3. I then cut out the holes for the speakers. A jig saw would of been ideal but a hacksaw blade and drill worked fine.
4. I needed to cut off the plastic legs from the speaker surrounds as they were interfering with the speakers.
Before:
After:
5. I drilled and mounted the speakers.
This is a few pics of where the rear speaker wiring is located.
6. I stripped the old wiring from the Primera and it fits perfectly. I mean wire length wise. Just complete luck.
7. I stripped the plug for the speakers. The key to stripping the plug is to use a small screw driver to pull the small plastic part up and pull the wire at the back. This is as good a picture as I could get.
8. I connected the wires up. I stripped the end of the primera wires and wrapped them around the original wires. Then used some electrical tape to secure them.
9. I then put all the wires back into the plug. I used a pair of long nose pliers to pull them through. Then i just tapped it all up using electrical tape.
10. The last step is to glue down the surrounds and tidy up the wiring. I will do this tomorrow.
The speakers sound really good. Alot better than 6x9s. I just hate the sound that comes from them.
