SC430 Speaker Replacement Pics
ZGONE,
I'm about to replace my SC430 Door speakers (6x9's) and I had bookmarked your great post with the pics so when I got around to getting the speakers and doing the repair, I'd have it available. Now I find the pics are gone. Maybe I waited too long. Could you repost this one with instructions and pics please ?
Thanks,
Ed

Everyone,
I recently moved and lost my Comcast account that was hosting the photos. I am in the process of getting the pictures uploaded to my new Charter account. I will try to get these back up as soon as possible.
Thanks,

PDF version
Hi - these instructions were very useful to me, so i patched it up a bit and made it into a PDF friendly attachment. I also cleaned up the English a little to make it a little more easy to follow. (NO offense intended!)
I'm VERY grateful for the creator of this post and those who have generously given their time and effort into this!

Everyone,
I have finally located the original photos and I'm working on getting them uploaded to my new service provider. I apologize for the down time. I moved from CA the TX and didn't realize that the only copy of the original photos was on an archive drive which took me some time to locate. Photos should be back up in the next day or so.
Cheers,
ZGone

left side of speakers cutting out
Yes ,
I have a 2003 430 and the speaker sys is so jacked up its been really upsetting me ever since i bought it. It had crappy after market 6x9s in the doors , the amp was tampered with , and it sounded horrible. I replaced the 6x9s in the doors with ML's and i replaced the ML amp in the back two times. Every time i get an amp it would work fine for about a month then the sound would start cutting in and out while going over bumps and making sharp turns. So i figured it was the head unit... Nope got a new one and it was even worse. So i was fiddling around with the settings and i noticed if i put all the sound balance to the right side of the car it would play fine while going over bumps in the road. But as soon as i would put the bal just +1 over to the Left speakers the sound would cut out. What is going on do you have any advice for me and if i just replaces the stock head unit with an aftermarket one could that possibly fix this problem. I feel as if the left wiring system has a bad ground somewhere but i knew if i got a new amp it would be fine for about a month then go bad again. What should i do!!!????

Excellent Instructions for Changing Blown ML Speakers
I just wanted to say thanks for the excellent thread on changing the ML speakers. Like most, my SC430 had a ML factory-supplied 6x9 woofer go bad on the passenger side. I followed the instructions/advice/pictures from this thread and had absolutely no problem replacing the speaker. I had a factory replacement speaker so I went ahead and used it for now...but down the road, I may change out both woofers to a better speaker. My stereo sounds much better now. Thanks for the information posted here! - BC
