The Basics of Car Audio Speaker Replacement

I’ve done a lot of work to my 1993 Acura Vigor lately and I’ve been driving it a lot more. One thing I began to notice was that the stereo just didn’t sound all that great. I suspected blown speakers. I pulled one of the door cards and found out my suspicions were correct. So I measured both the front and rear speakers and went on the hunt for some replacements. I made a video of the installation and included some basic tips that I believe will work for most vehicles. So if you’re looking to upgrade the sound quality of your ride, you might find this video helpful.

Comments, tips, and suggestions welcome.
