Anyone removed the rear speakers ?

Don't waste your time do what i did and go to Helfords and spend about £60 and replace all 4 speakers......OK most will say i'm a prat for doing it but if you got time to waist going to a dealer's loose your car for the day then told to bring it back another day to have the work done then have to go bake again when another speaker goes pop it's up to you.............

Been in to Bristol Street Citroen in Nottingham this morning to find out it's a blown speaker, replacement ordered and will be fitted next Wednesday. :rolleyes:

So will Citroen replace a blown speaker under warranty?
I didnt get time to go on the weekend...

[scubagazza]

Yes it is covered on the warranty, i'd only had the car five days when I heard it!

Said it before and will say it again, give the new speakers a chance to bed in slightly before you fire your *insert music genre* at full blast!

[scubagazza]

Compared to my last car which was a Nissan Juke. The quality of the sound proofing in the cabin and level of engine noise is much better therefore music doesn't need to be blasted out!

[Joeauger]

I've had the car for 6 months now and took it easy on the music for the first 2 months.
I wouldnt of thought that citroen would replace a blown speaker... Surely that is our own fault?

[scubagazza]

As I said i'd not even had the car a week, prior to that it was the showroom model. So it's possible that it was played around with and maybe damaged to some extent before I got it, either way new car with warranty means it's covered by Citroen as far as i'm concerned. Also the power output of the head unit/amp should not exceed the maximum input of the speakers, ideally the speakers should have a higher power rating to avoid damage. As long as you stick to that principal you shouldn't get blown speakers.

Said it before, don't go cranking up the bass or speaker volume on a new car. You need to give the speakers a chance to bed correctly first.

Snap !

[lfcrule1972]
