    you shouldnt need to, the speakers are just a positive and negative wire, are you looking to swap like for like or do an upgrade?

    just like for like really

    then you shouldnt need any adapters. you might need to drill a couple of rivets out, so you will likely need to get these replaced (pop rivets I think) but it should be a straight swap.

    Sounds like thats because its Halfords, its a universal speaker rather than a Ford specific.

    call ford parts plus and a few other parts centres and you should be able to get some prices.

    just thinking then it might be cheaper to upgrade then? ;)

    probably best to aim for Ford specific rather than a universal, but as I say, most the time the speakers are little more than a positive and negative. Your better off going to an audio speciailist to make sure you get the right kit, rather than Halfords, where they do generic adapters rather than specific to the car.
