Introduction
This guide will help accomplish the replacement of a speaker on the driver side door of a 2014 Dodge Dart. Use this guide if the sound coming from the speakers are either blown or the sound is on the crackling side of speaker damage.
Over time, overuse of a speaker can cause damage to the speaker itself if not used properly, as well as using unsafe levels of volume can increase damage to a speaker. Another reason can be rain or liquid damage. It cannot be thought of, but any water or liquid damage to the side door where the speaker is can easily cause speaker damage.
Some forums may tell a person to simply go to a mechanic or just by another car due to the age of the car. However, we think there is a simpler way to just replace the speaker yourself with no need for such expensive approaches to simply fix and replace the damaged speaker.
This guide will require the following tools:
- 1 - 10mm ratchet
- 1 - 7mm ratchet
- 1 - prying tool
- 1 - Screwdriver with assorted bits [use the one that is the torx (looks like a star/star bit)]
This guide will require the following one part:
- 1 - Pioneer TS-A6987S 6"x 9" 700 Watt 5-way Car Speaker
