I have an '02 Mk2 Punto but I'm having trouble fitting new speakers in the two front doors. The factory ones cut out occasionally on either side and I figured that if I got new ones along with a new headunit then the quality would almost certainly be better as well. The problem is that although it looks like after undoing a couple of screws the speaker cover in the door should just slide off, it didn't. Even after undoing every screw visible that was attaching the plastic fitting on the door to the door the thing still wouldn't budge.
I went to Halfords, which I know aren't the best but i figured that they would be able to succeed where I had failed and set up the new speakers to the headunit all in the price of the fitting. However, after the kid looked in 'the book' he said that the punto would need new front speaker adaptors which would cost an extra £70, which was more than the price of the speakers that I wanted :doh:. He said that the reason for it was most probably because the speakers in there were an odd size and so for normal 10, 16.5, 17cm etc speakers to fit you would need an adaptor. Looking in the manual reveals that the ones already fitted are 165mm, which is a size they make plenty of speakers in.
Is it impossible to fit new door speakers without an adaptor and if its not then how did you manage to do it? Sorry about all the words.:yum:
