Jimny's are known to leak on the drivers side, meaning the right hand side speaker gets wet and blows itself to bits.

So don't spend big money, as it will be wasted

Think Darthloacie told me about the leaks

True, my right speaker is blown to bits, an aftermarket plastic speaker will last longer than the paper cone type. I fitted some in the back of mine about 12 months ago whilst all stripped out, still not put in my new radio so the wires are still loose under the dash. :blush:

That explains why my right speaker didn't work. The radio is under the stairs at the mo anyway... I took it out to fix the heater controls, but didn't quite finish.
