RobbHancock Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 My standard arosa speakers in the front door panels need replacing...badly! I've blown them to bits so they just crackle at any level of bass :/ sad times. Anyway...I took the door panel of to check the size and noticed they are riveted...? I've got some new speakers and the adapter ring thing on order but can someone explain how I'm supposed to get the old ones out?! I've seen people say drill it out but how? With a standard drill..? I'm new to all this stuff so any help will be greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Bone94 Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Use a drill, Drill threw the middle of the rivets and that should make you able to pull the speakers out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex-Bone94 Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Yh I sorted my loop out with a sound system and there's 4 rivets in each speaker, drilled threw the middle of all 4 and speaker pulls out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Drill only needs to be slightly bigger then the cantre hole of the rivet. Just drill 'til the outer "disc" comes away and then push the remains of the rivet through.You'll need some of these to remount unless you are ging to rivet them back in.http://www.amazon.co.uk/BargainBitz-Speedclips-Spire-Clips-Panel/dp/B007OUZ34W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1339367525&sr=8-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Yes, but you will have to fix them to your inner door, using either rivets or screws. If you choose screws you will require those little plates to slip over the mounting holes to provide something for the self tappers to screw into.You can get them from Halfords or any DIY store.

RobbHancock Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Got the speakers and mounts delivered this morning...they look great. They actually came with some of those dodgy metal things you linked me to so i should be in business as soon as the bloody rain stops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
