Subarupusher Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 So I get an HD Radio deck for my precious and I decide that I need better speakers especially after I see the photos on this site of the base speakers. The dealer gave me a really good deal on the upgrade kit along with the tweaters. I made the mistake of asking how much it would cost to have them install them figuring an hour of labor at the most when I brought the car in for an oil change. I had a couple quotes from different dealers and the best deal I could get was $280!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Best Buy would have done it for $120. I decided to do it myself and it took about 1.5 hours and I managed to only break a couple of minor pieces off of 2 out of 4 of the door latch cover clips. They still seat tight so I consider it a good install. When I was pulling out the old speakers I noticed they had droplets of water on them. The dealer had washed my car after the oil change and I started wondering if water gets back there during normal operation in wet conditions. I noticed that the speaker upgrades had more plastic shielding in the back. Probably happens all the time in car doors and most people never pull their doors apart right after a car wash.
