On a recent drive the speakers kept short circuiting leading to the sound from the head unit cutting out. I decided it was time to fit the new speakers. Doing so isolated the cause – the contacts on the odd Kenwood unit were shorting on the inside of the door. Replaced that and the stock Peugeot speaker from the other door with a set of these Alpine SXE-1325S and fitted them with a fresh set of electrical fastners.

Went to a local machine and parts shop and picked up the necessary stainless steel jubilee clips for the coolant hoses and a bottle of antifreeze. Now have everything I need for that job, except the time to do it. I’m factoring in here that something I’m not expecting is likely to happen at which point I don’t want to be stuck needing a car and not having one, so I’ll leave that until I’m sure I can live without it for a few days…
