New Speakers

Replaced the awful OEM front speakers with new ones tonight. My boss volunteered his '99 Mustang speakers to our cause because the speakers (tweeters, 4" and 6x9s) were gathering dust on the shelf after upgrading his sound system. Thanks Joe!

Install was pretty straightforward - remove door skin, remove old speaker and install new speaker with sheet metal screws. Managed to tuck the speaker in a corner and get three screws in. Here's a shot with the Ford speaker installed:
Not exactly a Unique Whips caliber install, but the door skin tucks over the speaker and it looks pretty good. Sounds significantly better too! To add to the weirdness of mustang speakers in a $250 car - I reused the mustang torx fasteners. Never would have guessed they would have used torx for speakers! I'll be adding 6x9s in the back cargo area and a Sony CD/MP3 headunit, but those items are pretty low on the priority list and will wait for last. Here's the completed install:After the speaker install, I started to investigate the faulty dash lights and have determined that the instrument cluster is the first thing installed on a Wagoneer at the factory. The back of the gauge cluster is one big printed circuit board and the dash lights sit on the board. All of the bulbs (that I could reach) were fine so I presume the circuit board is old and has an open somewhere in the circuit. It's not worth fixing for our purposes but I would like to be able to see the temp gauge, oil pressure and speedo at night. My current plan is to take the mysteriously "always on" seatbelt light, add a toggle switch and move the lamp it to the center of the cluster and make that the dash light.
