How much to replace a blown HK door speaker?

Wile.E.Coyote · Thu, Mar-05-2009, 07:10:14 PM

Hi, my passenger door HK speaker sounds blown (no idea how this happened) and am wondering if anyone knows how much this will cost to replace. Its appears that I'd have to take apart the inside of the door to get to it. Is this easy to do or should I have a stereo place do it?
I'm trying to determine whether I should look for a used HK speaker or just get a new set of speakers. Also debating whether to DIY or pay to get it done. Any help would be appreciated.

i might have some extra HK's i blew one of mine, about 70$ to find a used one and put in you can do it yourself.

Can anyone tell me if a blown speaker would be covered under factory warranty?

sorry for the thread hijack but does the cpo cover any stereo parts? for example the amp?

I'd reccomend going with BSW. For $600 you can replace every speaker in your car, and it'll sound noticeably better than stock.

i recommend replacing both yourself with new aftermarket components. Besides better sound, the other speakers are likely on their way out too. There are plenty of instructions all over this and other forum. On a 1 to 10 difficulty scale (1 is changing a tire & 10 is SMG repair), i would rate this a 2.
