Thanks Adam. All 4 speakers *sounded* OK.

What do you mean exactly by checking the polarity. I assume neither the negative will have 100% continuity to earth/chassis, nor would the power have 100% 12-14v when measured to chassis/earth?

I normally use an AA battery; positive on the battery to positive on the speaker will push the cone out, positive to negative will pull the cone in.

As AAT said; just a quick touch on the leads, so you don't damage the voice coil.

you got it thats what i do when you r at the headunit. but if you r at the speaker you cant do it so you use a multimeter but your right i do about 6 headunits a day battery works great

speakers will never be 12 to 14v and the raido swaps power down both wires usually around 1.5v so one wire could be .5v and the other earth then it might swap depending on what sound it needed to make thats why all speakers have + and - you might not notice it strait away but try something reeeely bassey and if you hear puck puck puck instead of doof doof swap the wires

that bit's cool, the + and - are clear on the speaker. I just don't know about the car's loom. Should I just check continuity to earth from each wire?

Lol, yeah; I normally do it from the head unit end of the speaker wiring, that way you know you've got it right.

I don't think testing speaker wiring to earth will work.

OK they all sound good....to be honest I thought a backwards doof would sound like food :teehee:

Star33...I did not replace the a piller speakers, I was only replacing the door ones because they had phyiscally died...was not really after the ful sik-est sounding car around.

Hahaa food na you don't check them to earth you put the multimeter on volts and put the two wires on the meter to the two wires for the speaker and it should say on the meter witch is witch

Series 2 drivers door trim should have about 3 screws across the bottom, one under a cap mid door under the controls, one in the pocket. The door handle/lever trim will pop out with a carefully placed screwdriver under the lever surround near the front. From memory the controls with also pop out with a carefully placed flat screwdriver but I would removed the other screws and there should be enough play to remove the loom plug without removing the controls.

It has been so long since I did it that I can't remember all the steps. I presume there should be more detailed instructions in the DIY section or if it fails then look in the general DIY section. The search button is your friend, make sure you have a search since it will almost certainly have been covered before.

the window switch just pops out. can use a knife or flat screw driver.

might be a screw under the black button thing too, the cover will just pop off.

the panel itself just clip on. grab it at the bottom corner where the speaker is and pull gently to unclip them, then just work your way around the rest of them,

maybe a screw in the handles too.

It is.

By the way, when people say 6" or 6.5", they mean the same thing. Depends on how pedantic the person saying it is.

I totally went out and bought 6.5" went to chuck them in the front and they were still too small! so I was like what the heck.. and thought well I might as well still get use out of them and put em in the back.

Took off the back door panels and... turns out you're supposed to have brackets in the front..
So who ever thought it was smart to remove the front brackets or adapter things just made me have to run off to a parts place who had a stagea. Got there but there was only one front door so tried taking the bracket thing off and gave up after stripping the screws ://. 
Ended up finding some old Primera there and taking their brackets and just hoped they'd fit as they look the same in shape (they weren't >.<) The holes were a little too close together but I made it work!

And........ the front right speaker doesn't seem to wanna work after all of that. Maybe the wire is loose at the back of the head unit...

Oh! and does anyone know how to unclip those damn connectors that are used for the window switches and just about every other thing on this car!?!?! Driving me nuts.

 

FYI: This is how a 16 year old kid approached this situation :D

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
