Rear Speaker Upgrade (for the Megane II 5door hatch)
After having replaced the front speakers with the Pioneer TS-131Q, I felt that the rear needed replacing as they are not up to par the aforementioned Pioneers. My choice came down to the Pioneer E-Motion TS-E1376 or TS-E1396, the latter ones being 3-way, having higher frequency response and being more powerful (check these links TS-E1376 and TS-E1396). I was lucky to track them down (through ebay) at a German e–shop, www.caraudio24.de, paid 82 euros (including shipping and Paypal surcharges) and the package arrived in a little more than two weeks. Below are the box contents, 2 speakers, 2 grills, screws and cabling. No instructions however, as these are speakers for universal fitting. Just have a look at them side by side with the OE Renault rear speakers. Absolutely no comments on the magnet size!
Preparation
Being totally honest, replacing of the rear speakers proved much harder than replacing the front ones. You will need the instructions from the Renault PDF or the Haynes book, a couple of hours (depending), a knife or a very thin flat screwdriver, a set of Torx screwdrivers (you will need a T15 and T30), a normal wrench size 10 and lots of patience!
