Keen to purchase a pair of NA seats with headrest speakers

Post by palapanda » Tue Jun 16, 2015 10:02 pm

May I know where can I buy a pair of NA seats with headrest speakers built in? Also, if there's any good place around Auckland that able to restore the interior of the car?

Thanks

You'll probably have more luck retrofitting speakers into your existing seats. Your seats probably have a zip under the seam which you can use to get access to the speaker mounts. You can get drop-in replacement speakers, or some people have had success installing small (4 inch) drivers.

A few threads on here on how to retrofit replacement speakers. I did one and I think MrGrey has also.

yep, its pretty easy and fun :)
the only disadvantage to modifying existing seats with no speakers would be the effort of wiring them up (although I assume you would have the plug underneath each seat.

try unzipping your headrest and see what you have to work with.

If there isn't a HOWTO, you're welcome to take some pics and do a write up. ;)
