Has anyone replaced their OEM speakers

[H-D Jay]

I cannot find instructions on removing and replacing the speakers on my '03 Bird, had anyone replaced their speakers? If so, any tips as I do not want to damage anything to replace the old speakers.

Sorry no, but honestly, our 02 has amazing sound, to me at least!

I replaced mine with Blaupunct ones. It was easy. I searched the internet and found easy instructions on pulling the panels. It took me about 30 minutes for all 4. It bought simple wire connector adapters to avoid any wire splicing.

So, does anyone happen to know if the '02 & '03 speakers are exactly the same? My speakers "sound" fine, I agree with you Spike, but my speaker cover on the passenger side of the center console got bumped by a knee and broken. Sounds good...looks like crap. I think the only fix might be replacing the speakers. 🙁

Thanks. I found the directions and replaced them with Pioneer 4 way speakers and wow, what a difference.

I had Best Buy install a double din Pioneer nav radio.. Also while they were installing the radio, I had them replace the OEM speakers with JBL's.. all sound great..

If you have a handy friend or want to do it yourself, check Crutchfield.com. They have measured radio components in virtually every car and advisors can recommend best head units and speakers for any car. They stand behind products they sell and Crutchfield customers receive lifetime tech support. (No, I don't work for them, nor does anyone I know, but I've been a very satisfied Crutchfield customer for decades.)

I ordered speakers and a Bluetooth stereo from Crutchfield and it was not bad at all. Their instructions cover everything.
