I ordered this from ebay

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/221468371991

Should be delivered next week.

I also contacted the Brendan at http://www.carbuilders.com.au/ and asked if he could do a special deal.

I told Brendan that I was after 3 boxes instead of 4. He will be getting me an extra box for $16, which will be added to the "36sq/m deal with the install kit".

Now it is all a waiting game.

Now I am on the hunt for replacement speakers. might make this a project while I am at it.

I threw a set of these in the rear of my car as a stop gap, very impressed with the performance of them so far.

so you installed those on the parcel shelf, or in the doors to replace the factory speakers?

If you installed them in the doors, did you have to do much cutting?

Those don't look round, but so oval. Keep in mind that I have never been into the trim of any of the doors and I am going by pictures that I have previously seen on the forum.

If they are a direct replacement, I will get them today then. They on special.

I might get the jaycar sub and replace the factory 8" paper weight.

they are a direct fit for the stock B Series ford locations. Rears in a B series are in the rear parcel shelf.

Google suggest FG's have a 6 or 6.5" round speaker so disregard the link above.

Bought a focus st after they had been recalled for a engine harness issue. Obviosuly mine hasnt been done coz it started the random stalling, hunting idle crap yesterday. Google it, find out its a well known issue and a recall exists for it...

Last ford, seriously im over it. They do build great cars, ive had a bucket of fun but seriously they just cant execute ans customer service is rubbish as usual.

Booked in monday for the warranty work, really looking forward to dealing with the khunts...

^^ further to this, the POS ran like it was on 1 cylinder today, sounded like a wrx, used ALOT of fuel to limp home, smelt rich as, throttle behaved strangley. "Engine malfunction service now" "hill start assist not avalibe" messages on the dash. CEL...

Apparently the issue is inadequatly crimped (not enough pressure, I think they should be soldered ffs) splices throughout the engine harness.. as a result it gets all sorts of weird signals from sensors and throws codes for you name it, pretty much anything connected to the pcm, sporadically. Dealers started off replacing sensors as the codes presented but ford has now issued a recall for the harness...

They better just fhucking replace it on monday no BS excuses....

solder isn't used in engine bays for a very good reason. Crimps are a better solution - if they are crimped adequately :)
