Howdy - just took out the front speakers in my '85 Westy last week - bought
the critter last month and both front speakers were "dead." Popped off
upper front panel with hands, carefully pulled back part way, unscrewed
speaker, pulled out speaker to disconnect wires and part of one wire came
out - it had split from all the opening/closing of the doors. This was the
case for both speakers, with both of the passenger speaker wires being
split. Replacing the speaker wire on the right hand side was easy, just
pull out the glovebox. Left side was trickier, but problm was solved by
removing instrument cover and dropping wire down left side then stringing
remaining across to radio. Now, I've got both front speakers working. But,
alas, they sound like a cheap AM radio (They are the original German ones,
and the rear ones, being apparently the same things, are lousy sounding
also). Anybody know what replacements will fit inside the plastic speaker ring?
