Hi from Australia - did this today!

[@classicminiworkshop]

Hiya

[@benjaminthe1st]

One thing a lot of people miss on speakers is letting them play what they were intended... you will get better sound albiet "less bass" come through through adding Bass Blocker/Passive Crossover... especially if you're running speakers off the head unit/cd player. While the 6.5 is capable of some low it's not a sub... I appreciate your videos.

[@classicminiworkshop]

Thanks Ben. Great advice

[@milanbauer4226]

COOL Idea Keith. I will do it too.

Should have drawn round original parcel shelf on to some mdf board and make your own shelf for some nice 6x9 and when you made your shelf with 6x9 speakers in you can cover it over with some audio material so you can't tell there is any speakers in plus you don't ruin your original shelf that's what I did with mine 👍 Great video though 👍👍

Down to the smallest details. What an exceptional job !! I can’t wait next Sunday.

[@classicminiworkshop]

Thank you

[@dalewarren9518]

I knew where this was going , I did mine last year, spent months looking for the right ones , then bought exactly the same as you . Very clever idea to cut and use the old ones 😉 great as always 👍

[@classicminiworkshop]

Thank you.

[@dieselbushcraft1299]

Brilliant and totally agree makes all the difference to look stock like those.

[@grahamwoodier5066]

Good job! I was wondering what to do about my speakers after I concluded they were an odd size (not to mention the three bolt fixing) and therefore difficult to source. Fortunately mine are both functional and mostly rust-free but I will consider your approach for a future upgrade.

Hiya Keith-what a SOUND job! Look forward to Q&A next week!

[@classicminiworkshop]

Thank you

[@janvanstraelen3727]

Very nice job Keith 👍

[@ravisidhu1667]

Once all sorted. Sound test please

[@stephenbethel8852]

Well done.Lovely job. Enjoyed the videos. Would be interested to know how the budget went. So will be watching your next follow up videos. Your attention to detail is second to none imho.

[@classicminiworkshop]

I'm sure I will get asked this lots so will do a video on it, or join the live chat on Sunday 7pm and I will discuss it then. Thanks for watching

[@dalewarren9518]

Any chance you have a video of the dashboard being fitted ? Interested to know how to fix it in place 😊

[@classicminiworkshop]

Yes, I've had a couple of requests for this. I will do a video in the next couple of weeks hopefully

[@pauljeffries]

Brilliant job Keith, your still massively OCD though 🤣🤣👍👍

[@stewartpalmer7039]

Did you make sure the speakers were polarised?

[@classicminiworkshop]

Yes, I did notice that they no longer mark polarity on the terminals, I guess this is why you should always check.

[@pheasantpluckersson2138]

Alpine do custom fit OE spec speakers, Alpine R series 👍🏻

[@classicminiworkshop]

Thanks, I took a look but couldn't find anything custom fit for a classic Mini?

[@dhardingham]

You were going to mention the cover ...

[@classicminiworkshop]

Oh yes, I split that out into a separate video. I will upload soon
