i bought 12 of these when they were in stock.Parts Express no longer have them. Looks like we're going to need to find another alternative
My speakers were fine to begin with but im "hoarding" them , for when the time comes.
Parts Express just tell me they will not receive some of them anymore ...So anyone know if AuraSound is a japanese company and how to get in contact with them for an order ..o buying other Speaker Combo with Box built in to fix in Blast near same place as the Guenine speaker Box .
When I did mine the first time I just reached up in along the monitor to unscrew the front screw and bent the brackets out of the way. It's not great but it beats hours of disassembly.
It would probably be somewhat easy to design something you could 3d print that snaps together. I suppose the biggest issue is you need clearance behind the speaker to remove it. And since it sits flush against the wall, there's not a lot of wiggle room to make some kind of bracket that is going to protrude from the wall even just a little bit when not assembled. I'm envisioning like a tab sticking out that an L shaped piece could slide onto, but the speaker would need to be able to clear said tab.

I picked up a set of KC's speakers that I'm gonna install tomorrow. They fit perfectly, but the existing wiring won't work since they both use small (2.8mm?) spade connectors. The connectors are angled horizontally so it seems like any connector won't fit without bending the tabs inward. I worry that they're not study enough for that though:
I'd like to avoid hacking up the existing wiring, so I'm planning to make adapters with these male connectors: 2.8mm, 4.8mm and some 18 AWG speaker wire.
Anyone have success installing these before? Think I should solder wires directly to the speaker terminals or bend the tabs in?

Solder is the way to go. That's what I did.
Bend the terminals down and cut them so that the existing speaker connectors fit.
Cool, thanks. That's what I did, seemed to come out well. We'll see how they sound.
Yeah, the terminals seem to be the right size for the smaller connectors for the negative sides, so the terminals don't need to be cut. I could bend and use the existing negative wires and terminals, but I'd still need to make an adapter or something to connect the existing large female positive ends to the positive speaker terminals.

I got those same speakers from kc for my blast city, they fit perfectly and sound really good.

I second this. They sound amazing and fit perfectly. Just the connectors need to be molded.
Yeah, tested mine and they sound great. Happy with how soldering wires with connectors turned out, solid connections and I didn't have to modify the original harnesses at all.
Did you guys add any additional padding or anything? I just screwed mine down in the boxes and am planning to add fabric tape around the edges like the originals had.

I just left it to what ever it came with stock.

I wrapped electrical tape around the fabric as I had to slice it to remove the old speakers. No one is gonna see it...
