2001 L200 Speaker Replacement

Has anybody here replaced the factory speakers on their '01 or later L200?
I'm particularly interested in any tips on removing and replacing the inside
door panels.

Thanks in advance,
Jeff

 

I would like to know also. The speakers crackle. The dealer said he
replaced the driver's speaker but the problem remained. I gave up and the
warranty expired. I think the wire must be bad or the radio is bad. :-\

 

My old 97's factory radio caused my crackle sound about a year after I
bought it. Mine was dust/dirt in the volume control - I replaced with a
Kenwood unit.

Can you play with the volume or balance control and affect the crackle?

 

You know I tried balance and treble and found it to be the one channel or
that speaker.

 

Hmmm... sounds like money anyway you proceed. If you start of with after
market speakers and there is still crackle, then it's a head unit (my guess)
to buy next. The only other thing I could think of would be a car stereo
place that does good work (how do you determine that?) and see what they
want to diagnose.

 

I think I don't care anymore. Yes, I've become complacent.

 

....I can relate.
