LH door speaker went kaput....

The lower speaker in the door on my '03 std mini has stopped working...and only makes scratchy noises. I have the standard sterio, which is fine for me..as long as it works.

Does anyone have a good used speaker that they would like to sell me? I just want something that works....and I'm thinking that there must be dozens of them sitting on shelves in home garages that were removed for upgrades.

Sincerely,
Rob

why not just get a cheap replacement set from Crutchfield? it will sound better and you don't need to spend much

Thanks for the response PGT!!

I don't know any better....I'm currently searching the web to learn Crutchfield. Thanks for the tip.


Back from searching Crutchfield...It looks like I'll have to buy a set of adaptor plates....and a set of raw speakers..it'll cost about $65-$140 or so plus shipping. The dealer has a single OEM in stock for about $55. So, crutchfield doesn't look like the solution that I was looking for.

Thanks again.

better to spend $65 on replacements than $55 on a single from the dealer. the $55 only covers one and speakers should be replaced in pairs.

Crutchfield is retail; try J&R or Fry's too.
There's plenty of better speakers to throw in there.
