Has anybody replaced the front speakers in thier zs?

What about the tweeters behind the mirrors? just unplug them or can you swap them easily enough?

they swap very easy just do it at the same time mine needed trimming a little to sit nice and flush

I made my own spacers using some 18mm MDF, just use your original speakers as a guide and draw around them and then cut out the centre hole depending on the size of the new replacement speakers. But if there are some fitting spacers on the market that will fit then you could easily just buy some of these

I'm running 17cm JBL's in the fronts on mine and 13cm Pioneers in the rears, JBL's cost me about £45(normal cost £70ish) and the Pioneers were around £30(normal £40ish)

is it worth sound proofing the door cards. when i have my standards up loud there is a vibrating noise (not distorting) im not sure if its the door card or the speakers

these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMW-MINI-FRONT...1%7C240%3A1318 are a direct fit for the ZS.

so i take it 17cm speakers are the size to buy and they will fit straight into mini speaker spacers? would be good to see a pic of some fiited. (i have just been looking on ebay and it seems there is 2 different sizes, some are selling 130mm and others 165mm???)

yes the ZS takes 17in speakers so those are the correct ones.
