Classic speakers..........

[HSLD]

It was bound to happen, I had hoped later than sooner. My forward speakers fell victum to XM. I've still got music, but the sound isn't quite what I'd like it to be. :wtf:

I can't find a way to get to them without tearing something up. Does anyone know how to get to the forward speakers in a Classic in the condo? :wtf:

I can't find ways to get to them, but, I can't find a way big enough to get them undone, and get them out and get a replacement back in. :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko:

Since I'm not familiar w/ Freightliner Classics, where are the front speakers mounted at? Door panels? Overhead console? Above the doors? :wtf:

I had to replace the spakers in the overhead console in an FLD120, which has the same overhead console as a Classic.

If your hands are small enough and you're good with a 1/4" ratchet & socket with a 3" extension, you can reach through the cubby holes & replace them. Otherwise, you will need to remove the front portion of the headliner and drop the whole overhead console.

If anyone's interested, I have a subwoofer box advertised in the Classifieds that's designed to fit in the overhead compartment (below the skylight window) of an FLD/Classic or Century/Coronado condo. It has 2 Kicker Competition 8" Subwoofers in it and doesn't need a lot of power to provide deep tight bass in the cab.

Sounds like a PITA! :wow: :wtf:

Trust me, it is. In the past, I just used enclosed speakers placed elsewhere in the cab instead of hooking those up to my head unit.

Which cubby we talking about to gain access to the speakers? Feeling around, there seems to be a way to get to them through the large compartment. I just haven't had time to move all the carpet panels, and insulation to see if that's where I need to go. There also seems to be a way to get to them from the small cubby, but now way to get them out of the hole or to un screw them.

It's the ones in the overhead. It's like some demented person designed the whole set up for my entertainment. :wtf:

Plan on at least half a day (a six-pack of your favorite beer) and at least two skinned knuckles to replace them.

You may need to drop the curtain railing & the portion of the headliner in that area to gain access to some of the screws that secure the overhead console. There's also Torx screws under the vinyl-covered caps on the corner piece (under the oveead storage) that will need to come out. Look around in the cubby holes in the console itself for additional screws.

Make sure you will be putting in some good quality, name-brand speakers in there so you won't need to replace them again any time soon. Also, be sure no water leaks around that part of your cab exist either.

Maybe I could get used to the cracking and forget about it? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

There actually seem to be a way to get to them through the large cubby. There seems to be a panel and some screws in each corner of the large cubby above the speakers. I can't see them, but I can feel them. It just means taking out the carpet panels and insulation. If that's the case, it may not be so bad.

Yeah, I learned a long time ago to ket a set of Torx drivers in the truck.
