    2 new speakers is the best option OP. Are the screws on the speakers exposed on the Micra? i.e can you see 4 screws around the speaker? There may be a removal plastic cover covering the speaker/screws

    You need to remove the speaker to see what diameter the opening in the door is to make sure you get the right size replacement.

    If you can get the speaker out of the door yourself i would advise taking the one out of the other door and swapping them around and trying playing music again. If the problem still persists on that side of the car then it's a wiring problem,if the problem moves to the other side of the car it's a speaker problem.

    I would imagine 2 x new brand name speakers in halfords etc shouldn't be more than 100e. new radio and new speakers will make a nice difference in sound quality in the car :)

    Thanks for the advice - I may try what you suggested first and if I have no luck with that, then I'll be investing in a new pair of speakers :)

    You could pick up a set of pioneer speakers in argos for around €30
    Should be simple to fit.

    Does your micra have electric windows?

    In that case, I'd be following iamthemanworks advice and picking up one from a scrapper and pay someone to fit it for you.

    IIRC, its a bit tight for space behind the speaker too, so a lot of off-the-shelf speakers may be too deep.


    Obviously if you want better speakers, do your research and get them - either way, paying someone to fit them would be the way to go.

    I'd still get new speakers over secondhand ones. I cant see secondhand ones being great at all tbh. The newest k11Micra is 12+ years old at this stage so whatever speaker you get from a breaker will be very old and more than likely exposed to the elements too.

    The measurements for many speakers, including depth can be got online.
    Here's an example from pioneer

    I found some new speakers clearing out the house yesterday, must have a look and see if they'll fit, if they do you're welcome to them.

    Not sure if they're the right size, maybe someone can check?

    They say the size should be around 16cm

    If they're that size, then that'd be great :)
