Speaker removal
I've got a '93 RX7 with Bose audio. Recently, there is a loud squeal coming from the left door speaker. It makes the radio unlistenable.
I assume that the speaker (with Bose amplifier) needs to be serviced or replaced. I found a company that repairs them, but don't know how to remove the speaker.
Any suggestions / plans / instructions / etc...???
Thanks in advance.

^^^ did you use the factory wiring? or did run a straight cable from the HU to the SPKRS?
if anyone wants to go with aftermarket speaker and ditching the BOSE here is where you can get the
speaker adapters http://car-speaker-adapters.com/items.php?id=SAK068
Here is a pic of how they look installed

+1 on ditching factory wiring and running new wires from headunit to each speaker, or running rca's from the headunit > 4ch amp > wires to each speaker.
+1 on ditching bose crap and going with 6.5" speakers. If you like great sound and don't want to run subwoofers, I suggest MB Quart component speaker setups. Hands down, they are the best interior speakers.
MB Quart's
q-line = best of the best, Q216 ~ $340 shipped for 1 pair.
premium = 2nd best, PVL 216 ~ $130 shipped for 1 pair.
onyx = 3rd best, ONX 216 ~ $72 shipped for 1 pair.
formula = 4th best, FSB 216 ~ $55 shipped for 1 pair.
*1 pair should include, 2 woofers, 2 tweeters, and 2 cross-overs.
I haven't tried out their onyx and formula lines, but they are most likely kick *** compared to all others in that price range. I don't like to cheap out on the interior speakers since I don't like to add in sub's. If you use a 4ch amp, make sure the ohm's match the ohm's of the speakers. AND WHEN WIRING SPEAKERS POLARITY MATTERS, get it right the first time, or else you will end up with blown speakers as most head unit's don't have safety features to detect improper wiring.

Car speaker selection is going to largely depend on how much you want to spend.
If you really want good sound and don't mind spending some coin, Focal speakers are hard to beat. You can spend a pretty penny on them, but even their "low-end" stuff still sound fantastic, such as the 165VB 6 1/2" 2-way speakers.

It's actually amazing how good the factory bose system sounds when working properly (I don't think there are many working examples out there). I replaced the head unit with a 2002 (I think) Mazda 626 bose head unit, had all the speaker amps rebuilt, and it sounds really good -- I was surprised! It had probably been years since my system had worked properly. Might be easier to just replace everything, but there is something nice about keeping it "near" stock.

I know this is an old thread that I just brought back, but I have searched and searched but just cannot find help on how to wire the front speakers in. I purchased the adapters to fit 6 1/2 speakers and ditch the stock bose set up but would like to know how or which two factory wires are you guys using to connect to the aftermarket speakers on each door? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
