nice job Busta
yes, the speakers had to be coaxed into position using the force :blink:
the drivers foot-well was the most interesting, trying to get the complete panel/speaker assembly passed the pedal

it's not a straight forward job, but it's achievable

I put the trim back in first, then mounted the speaker

if you're going to fix them to the panels first you may need to extend the existing cables as mine were only 75mm,
I just snipped off the existing spade connector and using blue crimp connectors joined a section of the new cable that came with the speakers

also see my post as I've added details re marking out the position.

good luck

I think trailers are not the costly part; I got my 5'x3' for free though I fitted a new axle soon after and some accessories like a jockey wheel.

No, IMHO the real cost is the towbar from 70 notes...................ouch :ohmy: ..................plus getting a number plate and a trailer board. I have an old rather battered trailer board that works fine that you could have for free depending on postage cost. :whistle:

Thanks for the offer

but I've seen boards sell locally for £10 ...... postage would probably cost the same,

I have been keeping an eye out :blink: and looks like trailers typically go for £100 - £150 around here

maybe I could justify the cost by getting something multi-purpose

:pinch:
