Here's whats going on with my front speakers. If I turn the bass up at all the damn things will fly totally off. I really don't give a **** about my sound system so I was wondering if there was any glue that I could use to fix the tear going around the speaker.

The speakers seem like they might have too much juice flowing to them or maybe they're just OEM, are they? Could they be over amped? They sound way too loud for being 20 or 40 watt speakers.

Help me out so I can turn my bass back up and hear the back speakers atleast.

That speaker you have a knife in is blown. I'm no guru but if there's no proper seal the bass will just make the speaker flap around and sound like ***. Unplug 'em or replace 'em.

That's kind of what I figured. I think I'll put some gorilla glue on it and see how long it'll last.

All 4 of my speakers are blown. I went out and got just one pairs for the rear. Do your self a favor and get some decent speakers. I got some elcheapos in the back and man do I regreat it. Sounds like crap. THe factory speakers sounded 100 times better. I'm goign to get some mid priced ones for the front and replace the rears soon after.

Speakers look good, only problem is that my fronts are blown, don't think I could cram those up front in the door. On the other hand I might replace my rears, so I might take em. Let me know if you still have them.

they will fit in an S14, that's what they are in right now. they will fit in an S13 too with a custom plate.

Are the speakers new? Warranty? How much for shipping? Can I install them myself or will there be troubles with the amp?

no. no. i don't know without a zip code. they are just like every other aftermarket install, the info is on this site already.

let's do this over e-mail, it's in my profile.
