Right just been reading through Modern Mini and after seeing the DIY speaker instructions i am thinking about giving it a try at some point. Have any of you guys done and speaker upgrades? And brand recommendation/what to avoid?

I didn't do it but i have JBL Speakers in my car sound alright, will be better when my sub and amp are all wired in hehe

Yeah i cant really get a sub or amp as i use my boot almost every weekend so cant afford to loose the space.

LOL thats what the back seat for silly

i dont like putting stuff on my seats. I don't want to mark the leather

I have the MINI hi-fi upgrade and it sounds damn good to me..........

Yeah i couldn't afford that when specing my new car so had to make do with the standard system . I was thinking about having it put in but it would be so much cheaper to go aftermarket!

I havent but would like to know aswell
I was gonna give the channel swap a go but im not brave enough ti try it myself!

how do you do that max? i was thinking of doing that but don't now how?!?

The rear speakers in the R57are SO bad that I have now had to fade all sound to the front only You must have a listen at the next pub meet/run Dave

The bumper was EASY!!! The spotlights on the other hand. NEVER going to do them again!

Lol fair enough! it looked pretty confusing!

Yeah it looks it but its actually so easy. I managed to get it off in under an hour and a half so was pretty pleased with that!

If you make any sense of the channel swap thing let me know

If you do it, and it makes a difference let me know too please.

Or, an even better idea - you could do mine for me!
