- Replacing the rear speakers in a 9-3 convertible can really add another dimension of sound to your music. I replace mine with 2-way speakers which enhances the mid and treble to the back of the car, giving the music a more 3D feel.
Rear speakers are 13cm
Dash speakers are 9cm
Door speakers are 17cm

I swapped out all the speakers in my 93 over the weekend & your videos were a massive help; so big thanks for them!
I also found out that luckily you can do the rears without removing the seat bottom, as someone seems to have rounded out the bolts holding them on & I couldn't get them to budge.
I did mine today. Thank you for this useful video. It really helped!
Very impressed, have remove rear seats and trim for some welding in the wheel arch. Very helpful 👍
Brilliant, excellent video!!
Brilliant video, thanks ever so much for sharing, really really helpfull, keep them coming.
this is a very useful video for me, I was trying to hook up a revers camera ...
well done bro.....very nice video
Well done 👏
Really helpful video! I have an issue with my 93 where the screen does not turn on and I also get no noise from indicators or parking sensors. Would this be the amp1 that needs replacing?
nice video, I was wary of how to do it, its also useful on how to change the cards (I spare cards)... its given me food for thought on the process on upgrading the rear speakers on my 04 plate. Thanks for taking the time to video and share
I have a 2004 9-3 Convertible with the 7 speaker system. I was able to replace the speakers by just popping off the grills. The screws and speakers on my car were accessible WITHOUT removing the rear seat of the side panels. Check before you do. I am very glad I did.
@@jpuxx Yes I also have the 2004 model, and you're right - they are 3.5" speakers exactly like the dash ones, and yes you can remove the speakers just by taking off the grill. Spot on, thank you.
Can you advise on the best plug in or more or less stright swap head unit for a Saab 93 please thanks
Hi, pleasure chatting at yesterday's event. I have the red vert with the juice bass box in the boot. What is the best wattage of speaker to go for to maximise the output?
I have a 2005 9-3 aero convertible but I can seem to find the right size for the rear side panels speaker
Did you also replace the front speakers in the 93 lift? I don't see any movie about it 😔
Hi, I've seen videos for radio upgrade, for rear and front speaker upgrade, but for front doors I can't find it. can you help me? Thank you
The speakers size are the same for Saab 93 cabrio 2004?
Hi what model of speakers did you use for replacement for dash and rear speakers ?
Nice video, very useful :)
Planning to do a swap on all of the speakers in my 08 convertible soon. Do you have any reccommendations for what brand speakers to go for?
For these I use Alpine and Pioneer
@@SaabUnleashed Cool, thanks for the reply :)
Crutchfield indicated that 3.5" speakers such as the Kicker 47KSC3504 would fit in both the dash corners and the rear seat side panel in my car, which is a 2004 9-3 convertible (7 speaker setup). Yet that doesn't seem to tally with this video (and description) wrt the rear seat speakers. Is their claim erroneous?
I actually found this video looking for instructions on how to pop the grille for the side panel speakers, so I haven't actually seen the speakers to make a size comparison. Should they just pop out with a pry tool/spudger? They didn't seem very cooperative earlier (cf. the dash grilles which popped out easily).
Crutchfield are a respectable company and they're probably right. It's quite possible that Saab changed the design during the prefacelift 9-3 run. This car is a prefacelift from 2006. I haven't looked at an earlier prefacelift to see if the speakers are different.
How do you change out the amplifier? My audio and turn signal clicking noise is out.
I show you where the amp is in this video
Brilliant video! Searched the net for hours for a picture of that amp on the left rear, finally!
A questions if I may please?
Did you by any chance get a picture and/or part number? Need a plug wiring diagram because I am planning to run FROM that amp output to an aftermarket amp in the boot, so need FR/FL, RR/RL and a wire to switch on my amp (big wire coming from battery allready drawn).
Cheers mate, really like your channel!
So you sent an already amplified signal into a second amp ?

Great vid but you didn’t mention the size or recommend the replacement? Any chance you could let me know please.
The sizes are in the video description
@@SaabUnleashed Yes I realised after sending the message, sorry about that. Fantastic videos though. I’m going to do the dash two with the Alpines you showed, the doors and rears all thanks to you. I’ve also found your vid on the head unit replacement, the flush fitting one not the 55inch wide screen! So I’ll get that done too. I take it you haven’t done a door speaker replacement vid, presumably because the American bloke did it. I’d rather watch you do it I must say!
You mentioned installing two way speakers in the rear, but is there any advantage of using three way speakers?
Not really, as the space available is only sufficient for mid and high frequencies. Low frequencies would require a much deeper speaker. It's better to use the designated space behind the seats for 6x9 speakers or a subwoofer for the low frequencies, but you will need an aftermarket amp for these options
@@SaabUnleashed Great, thanks for the advice.
Is there different speakers in the rear side card on the convertible? Mine 2004 has 3,5" speakers.
This car is pre-facelift from 2006
I have the same issue as you: I believe my 2004 convertible has 3.5" in the rear. But I haven't managed to get the grilles off so far. Can you just pop yours? Is there some trick to it?
How noticeable was the difference in sound quality ?
Very. The original speakers didn't have high frequency definition
I remove cushion first prior to seat back.
No mention how you connect cable to the speaker and polarity
Good shout on the polarities, I'll edit that in a bit later
@@SaabUnleashed appreciate it
Fuck me how long did it take to change dash,doors,rear speakers and head unit! And last one do I need to purchase any additional panel clips! As I am attempting this over the weekend
I thought saab used fibre optic?
They do between 2003-2006
What sized speaker did you use?
