I got a used 2004 Sharan TDI and immediately swapped out the tape player (I kid you not, a tape player in a 2004 car - unbelievable!) for a Sony CD/MP3 head unit. I installed it in Halfords car park with the audio tech helping me out when I needed it.
Not long after the installation, one of the speakers failed (front right). I took it back to Halfords and the audio tech tested the speakers' output. It was dead. The other one had too much resistance for the head unit (10 ohms and it should have been around 4 or something like that). So basically I need to install new speakers. "Fine," thought I, "I'll just buy some and install them". Not so. Apparently I need adapters to install after-market speakers in my car and the audio tech couldn't order them from his supplier. So what am I to do? I desperately need new speakers and can get them installed if I can just get the right bits. Does anyone know what I need and where I can get it?
Yours in desperation
