Default Corsa B Tweeters Help

"Andy M" wrote in message ...
I plan on buying some new front speakers for my Corsa B.
How do you get the door handles off to get in the tweeter encloser? I've
removed the screw at the bottom but cant get it to come off. How are the
tweeters held in?

Also where can I mount the cross over network? I dont want to have to drill
into the car, or at least anywhere visible so I can sell the car on.

Any recommendations on some components to fit? Budget of around £100.

Thanks In Advance
Andy M


Is this the new shape Corsa C or the old Corsa?

Corsa B, as mentioned above and in the subject line. W-Reg.
I've been advise in another forum too that to remove the door handles you
flip up the electric windows blanking plate, but there isn't one on my
model. :S

Top of the handle, rmeove the tweeter grille and the screw under
there. Remove the blanking plate thing at the top of the grip and
remove the screw under there too. Bottom of handle remove the little
plug thing and remove the screw behind that.

The handle then pulls off, be careful of the wire to the tweeter, just
disconnecte it and you can remove the tweeter from the handle then, it
just unclips.

If you don't have the electric window blanking bit at the top of the
handle then I'm stumped as the Corsa B front door handles are
identical to the Vectra rear handles and they all have this blanking
bit unless they have rear electric windows. Maybe try removing the
other 2 screws mentioned and see if it comes away from the door.

Theres definately no electric windows blanking plate, and the grill for the
tweeter is part of the enclosure. I can only find one screw, at the bottom
and its not covered as you described. I'll take a photo later to explain
better, but what your describing sounds very different.
There's no tweeter in there at the minute, I intend to fit one.
Thanks for the help anyway, I have a feeling the top part clips in but I
daren't just yank it for fear of breaking it.

OIC.

Hmm, reckon it might just be a case of undoing the screw at the bottom
then and wiggling about to see what happens. From that pic it does
look like it might clip in place at the top.

I managed to sort it in the end.
Behind the lever there is a panel which pulls out, to reveal a screw. Its a
complete bitch to get out and isn't that obvious it does come out.
All I need now its to get some tweeters! I just wanted to check I can fit
some myself before buying some.
