Here we go again (let me know if my photo guides are rubbish. If they are I'll stop doing them)...
I wanted to see the speakers, so the door card came off. Here's how...
1. Door card in place...

2. Nifty little hinged screw cover behind door handle - unscrew screw...
(http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g78/chubbylover88/DSCF5239.jpg)
3. Another nice little hinged screw cover in door pocket - unscrew screw...
(http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g78/chubbylover88/DSCF5240.jpg)
4. This is the place to start pulling the door card, so the lower popper studs come out first...
(http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g78/chubbylover88/DSCF5241.jpg)
5. The whole door card pops off really easily - except for here, where you need to slide it back from the tweeter cover...
(http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g78/chubbylover88/DSCF5244.jpg)
6. Door card removed...

7. Here's what's behind the door card...

8. Be careful not to break a popper stud :( ...

11. Speaker connector plug (out of focus!)...
(http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g78/chubbylover88/DSCF5248.jpg)
12. 6" speakers (152mm). Very basic paper cones...

thanks for the pics :?
-
Yup - good pics. Thanks.
De-riveting shouldn't be a problem, unless they start to turn when being drilled.
-
Well done.
Brill step by step guide better than Haynes!
Now for the rest of the car!!!!!!!!
-
many many 10x, that was unholy!
-
Thanks for the photo guide (Excellent) :oops:
-
To bad the speakers aren't screwed
oh well :p
-
There is absolutely ZERO sound proofing on the doors!!!!!!
-
They are virtually a sealed unit though... and the i30 is relatively quiet compared to most other cars in its class...
-
Dude. this is an amazing tutorial, Ive been hunting all over for this, thankfully tzwientjuh linked me to here.
Just out of interest, are the rear speakers the exact same mount as the front ones?
In the getz the rear door speakers were the same, but the mount was different, as they space was less deep. Therefore this meant a custom mould was needed, which I didn't bother with.
One small problem i can see here... can you remove that speaker mount, because it looks like you can't, or can you remove the speakers and change them...
I though it would be something like how you showed, but the getz had a slightly different set up, il post pics about it sometime.
-
You probably have to dril out the silver 'nails' then remove the speaker. And drill holes in the door to fit other ones ...
-
wud that not be really hard to do?
i have nevr done it before and would be scared of wrecking it

Nah. Those rivets will easily drill out using an 8mm bit
-
On the site of Pioneer, they say you have to drill holes "Installating notes: needs drilling"
http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/products/car_accessories/Hyundai/i30/10_2006/index.html
Then when the drilling is done, you must use some kind of spacer where you can mount the speaker on

spacer?? is that not the same thing that it is on at the minute??
Hopefully the mount that i have from the getz will fit. :D
-

I don't get it :rolleyes:
-
Does these pictures help at all?
They are from when i installed speakers in the front of the getz, i have removed them an installed a set of Kenwood ones, a lot better, but despite the different make it shows how similar it is to the i30(by the sounds of it) and shows how i mounted them using original equipment.
Unfortunately im having problems uploading the pics 2 here.. mite b 2 large..
anyway follow this link to my bebo page (like myspace etc) and you can see them here.
the size of the mount that i have is approx 175 mm diameter from one hole to another.. is this the smae as the i30?

Nice pics :wink:
-
Thank you..
Do you see what I mean now?
I gues I won't know myself untill i get the panels off the i30. just would like to find out now so it will make things easier in the long run,

by the way, going to delete the coment i put about the link will be pasted, incase u wna delete urs.. so i look less stupid :D
Yep, now I understand ;)
And I deleted my post too
Hope everything goes right!
-
Nice pictures.. Im wondering, you didnt remove tweeter cover? .. Any ideas how to do that, Im having annoying sound from tweeter assembly so I'm trying to open it (and dont know/have courage how)
..That door looks so technical, Im about to leave my tweeter issue to the professionals
thanks :)
-
Hi again jarsski.
i30manUK has abandoned our club (he probably sold his wife's i30 or just got bored) so don't wait too long for an answer from him :'(
-
Thought this useful guide was worth a bump now that the pictures are back. Although the door is sealed (pic 7) there were a couple of holes in the panel that allowed me to push out a nasty dent with a blunt screwdriver, saving a few notes in body shop repairs. Thanks!
-
Nice job Leon.. a $1 saved is like a $1.40 earned :mrgreen:
-
Fantastic photo tutorial, i30man.
Thanks so much.
-
hi
the pics are great//to bad i found this site after i already removed the door cards :lol:
does anyone have the picture of what is under the silver plate? could be that those rivets of the speakers are internal screws? (needed to be opend from within the door after removing the silver plate?!)?
thanks fox
P.S i will upload pictures of how to remove the radio trim for those who don't have the upper tray above the radio
-
Welcome yanivr23.. I'm pretty sure they are rivets (not internal screws) :cool:

hey dude, the speakers are riveted in, so you need to drill them out. after that re-riveting is the only way, unless you can get plastic gromits to allow screws to thread into them.
welcome :D

I did change front speakers to Pioneer TS-1702i. I removed old speakers and used old assembly for a new one.
(http://kohan.1g.fi/Hosting/load/i30/Vanhakajari.jpg)
I added correct cables for new speakers and a sealing for assebly.
(http://kohan.1g.fi/Hosting/load/i30/Assenbly.jpg)
(http://kohan.1g.fi/Hosting/load/i30/Ready.jpg)
Some "noise reduction" is added...

Around spare wheel
(http://kohan.1g.fi/Hosting/load/i30/Takakontti.jpg)
But more is needed to be done. Original isolation is next to none.

great job kohan. :goodjob: do the speakers sound better than the originals? :neutral:

Nice photo guide indeed. :goodjob:
Do we have a function to add the specific post to personal profile ? (like bookmark in favorate)
In that case, we can find some useful knowledge quickly.

You have led mirror covers? :lol:

Great post,
I am assuming the process is the same for rear-doors??
-
Sorry to revive an old thread but, how big was the original wire size for the speakers? I'm thinking of upgrading mine and researching everything before I open up the door cards...
-

yes,almost the same. :razz:

i never looked at the speaker wire when i had the door pulled apart,so i cant answer that one. :undecided:
