fladavid Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Hi. The dealer who sold me my 2005 Focus Ghia has been trying to find secondhand Ford Speakers to fit my car for a couple of weeks now and is finding it impossible to find any. I suggested new Speakers instead but he says he has no idea of the dimensions of the holes that hold the Speakers in the doors. Can anyone tell me of any cheap speakers that would definitely fit my car and where I can buy them. Failing that the size of the apertures so he can look himself. It's the driver side front and rear that are blown, I don't know if that makes a difference. Thanks. David. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ippy Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 seems odd its only one side back and front, have you checked out the actual stereo?/ wiring or balance control? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 As ippy says check the balance control in your stereo settings in case it's turned down/off on the drivers side. (Stranger things have happened) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fladavid Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 He sent a mobile audio guy to check it all out and he said that it was both Speakers blown. He left it with the dealer to source the replacements and then he will fit them. Are the front and rear Speakers identical so if he buys a new pair they can both be used?

David. well surely if a dealer puts NEW ford Speakers in he can get the ones from ford and they should fit your ford, why does he need to know dimensions!? (did you smell any bull poo when he was telling you he needs dimensions) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fladavid Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 I believe I mentioned he was looking for secondhand ones or new aftermarket ones which is why he needed the measurements. He asked me to see if anyone on here might have the answer to THAT question! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ippy Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 If he gets s/hand ford ones they should go straight in and I think some aftermarket ones come with a plate or plastic surround that helps make the Speakers fit I got some years ago when I uprated them in a ford Granada (as I say it was years ago ) and i think it might of even been Halfords Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzman600 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 David. Do you have a tape measure? Good. Get hold of one speaker and measure it's diameter. I think you'll find its either 5 1/2" or 6 1/2". Seems to me the dealer you bought the cat from is dodgy as is the so called mobile audio guy. Did he yest the headunit? Sounds to me it's a fault with the headunit and it'll only blow your replacement Speakers. Look for a new headunit. Oh. And find a different dealer and a local car hifi dealer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 6.5 at the front rears are smaller 5.5 I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fladavid Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 He is dragging his feet about this I must admit,I think so he has time to buy some really cheap secondhand Speakers,which could backfire if they are also faulty when fitted. He actually sent the audio guy to my house and he checked the whole set up. I called him to see when it was going to be done but he said that the dealer insisted he'd supply the Speakers and the audio guy would come back to fit them. The head unit is an eBay buy supplied by the dealer as the original was broken when I bought the car which is why I didn't know about the faulty Speakers at the time. I needed the sizes because I know it's an awful job and I don't intend on doing it myself, that's the dealers problem not mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzman600 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 So the dealer supplied a headset c/o eBay? If I were you I'd either 1. Give him the car back and get a refund then go elsewhere or 2. Tell him you have no faith in him and to keep the eBay headunit and give you the money to get one yourself then go to a car hifi shop and let them do the work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
