Mini R50/R52/R53 Door Speaker Replacement

[@leefranklin3054]

Even easier on my 2002 r53. No light in door, no sliding handrest. That speaker adapter is KEY! I soldered up my own wire adapter.

Hello. I have a 2005 Mini Cooper that needs the speaker replacement also and want to ask you if the speaker size you recommend (6.5 inch) is the same for the non- cabrio models? When I look up the size on the internet it says 5.25 inch. Thx to clarify. I am in Europe so will have to find the parts from a supplier here (any thoughts?). Thank for your help and excellent video!

Thank you for this great video and the info contained in it.

[@HufflerGarage]

Glad you enjoyed it! I've got to do the back speakers too and we will make another video for that as well.

[@Webbitup]

@@HufflerGarage great! I think my back speakers are good for now but I know I will up grade those eventually. I did order all the items form this vid so I’m excited for that. They are supposed to arrive this week some time.

I think I just cut my OG speakers out of their housing and re used them last time. I have a different mini now, one with the HK system and I am about to replace that. The speakers are 2 ohm as well so they will have to be replaced. A real pain!

[@HufflerGarage]

That is what I saw other people doing, but when I saw the adapters for cheap on Amazon, I figured why not. The regular Boost system sounds like garbage, but at least it is easier to upgrade. Good luck with the HK!

I wish you showed how to remove the door panel or old speaker. My left front is blown out.

Great Video. Thank you for skipping the mundane and sticking to the tricky points. One question. Why Crutchfield and not, sayyyy... Bavsound upgrade that has a reengineered OEM part. Nothing against Crutchfield. In fact, I installed Crutchfield's rearview mirror 7.3" backup camera in our, oddly enough, 2015 red convertible. Great Product.

[@HufflerGarage]

I ordered from Crutchfield because they included the wiring harness adapters for free. The pair of MTX speakers was only $40 and the speaker mount adapter plates were $10 from Amazon. The rear speakers will cost about the same when I get around to doing them. Sounds pretty good for $100 vs $500 for the Bavsound. I usually ride without the radio on anyways so I can hear the Supercharger whine and the exhaust crackle :)

[@liamcapp8497]

Could you tell me the make of speakers you used for upgrade and where you got them from with the adapters

[@motorvillage.satumare]

What size speakers removed from doors? Factory speakers? Thanks

[@HufflerGarage]

It was the 6 inch factory speaker.

[@wm4750]

Wait what about the little top speakers? Mine has started to squeak

[@pguercius1]

What part numbers are needed to order the speakers, wire adapters and the baffle? Your link does not provide the items from Amazon. Thanks

[@HufflerGarage]

The speakers (Item #236TERM6), wire adapters (Item #120729301), and baffles (Item #237XT652) all came from crutchfield.com. www.crutchfield.com/p_236TERM6/MTX-Terminator6.html www.crutchfield.com/p_120729301/Metra-72-9301-Speaker-Wiring-Harness.html www.crutchfield.com/p_237XT652/XTC-6-1-2-Speaker-Baffles-Slim-line-2-3-8-depth.html

[@xXSpectre0Xx]

What's the part # for the speaker connector? Is it the Metra 72-9301?

[@HufflerGarage]

That's it and the connectors were free with the speakers from Crutchfield.com

[@markkirsten3703]

Is that the standard non HK system.

[@HufflerGarage]

Yes.

[@jamesnotley2762]

Did you need to re drill for the screws that attach it?

[@HufflerGarage]

Not with the adapter plate I used. It just screws right back into the factory holes.

[@sasthesasquatch3947]

What size speaker did you install?

[@HufflerGarage]

6.5 inch speakers

[@djserafin]

Bought these adaptors and they don’t work for my 2006 r53 with HK system

[@HufflerGarage]

The HK system is a different beast. I'm pretty sure these are not for the non-HK system.
