There are no replacements. I tried couple and while they fit, sound is not the same, they just distort. I just had mine repaired last week, a guy put new foam on it. And yes, its very easy to take out the door panel, just like in the video

Well, I’ve found a complete set of 6 online, 2 front, 2 back and 2 rear shelf for a fair price so I’ll have them and slot them in then see about repairing the existing ones...
i think if you’ve fitted different ones an they’re distorting, they’re maybe of the wrong resistance...??
Typival car speakers are quite low, I dilunno what the B&O ones run at...??

I'm not really encouraging people to mess with the mechanism as It could end up worse.
Can you please help me? I have a A8 d3 4.2 fsi and I took off the plate and two screws holding down the speaker but can't remove the wire. How do you remove the wire holding the speaker? Malmaldonado0976@gmail.
