It is right to assume 4" spks in front and rear running off the radio?

 

The Big Book of Automotive Compatibility - also known as www.Crutchfield.com - doesn't list anything for the CM, yet. You're just going to have to open her up and take a look. Let us know what you find.

whats wrong w/ the stock stereo system? I just ordered my CM w/o the HK option.

 

Nothing is wrong with the stock system, much like nothing is wrong with a base model Countryman. Some just like the added benefits of the upgraded model.

I opted for the HK upgrade, and still wish it was better, but my last car had a full custom system in it. I just didn't feel like taking the time and money to do that in the MINI

 

Cool. I figured the HK system was better, it also has 2 more speakers/subs IIRC.

I just didnt want the basic stero to be horrible. like "it totally distorts after vol. 5 & the reception is horrid" "my AM transistor sounded better"
LOL - I was afraid it was like that :P
Mine is on order awaiting production.

 

Just picked up my countryman the other day. It came with the non HK setup. The sound was ok but it could be improved. I looked all over the internet and no luck finding the speaker sizes. So I removed the door panels uncharted territory. The front and rear door speakers are all 4" and 4 ohm. I removed the 4 stock speakers and replaced them with JL audio coaxial speakers http://www.jlaudio.com/tr400-cxi-car...-systems-91029. They sound quality is much better. They fit just fine withe no rubbing or modification needed. I might eventually order the HK tweeters that mount on the base of the window frame on the front doors. There is additional wiring in the door for them. I did not pull up the seats but there is a set of mid bass speakers under them. Based off of another thread on NAM the speakers under the seats are 6 1/2 inch. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ml#post3491657. overall I'm happy with the sound for now. Might get brave and pull up the front seats one day. Cost of speakers locally $ 178.00 plus the cost of wiring conectors. Hope this helps some of you.

 

Would anything larger fit in the doors?
