Bilmerker => Tidlige elbiler: Think => "Nye" TH!NK City produsert fra 2008 - 2012 => Emne startet av: BauDemo på lørdag 17. april 2021, klokken 13:54
I found a new speakers that turn out to be direct match of the original ones, but 13 cm instead of the original 10cm.
The model is Pioneer TS-G1320F.
From here https://www.amazon.se/gp/product/B07573RGZ7
Around 300kr with shipping included.
The inner bolt pattern is exactly the same as the one on the Think door.
There is a need for 6mm adapter ring so the new speaker sticks out compared to the original one, but the speaker cover remains the same.
I will upload some photos and a 3d print model of the adapter ring if there is an interest.

Nice! How is the sound with these, as compared to the original front speakers?
I have a small sub in the back, in one of tthe small compartments of the boot.
I am not going to win any competition with these new speakers.
The sound is much, much better than the original speakers. Especially having in mind that it is a bolt on install for only 300 kr.
I did not need to cut anything, the wire connectors matched the speakers - so no need for soldering, it took literally 5 minutes to install.
I had to fiddle with the stereo settings abit:
- switch off x-bass (or loudness) (the speakers vibrate violently if on)
- switched off sound profiling (did not like the sound)
- increased bass to +5
- increased threbble to +2
Then I burned a CD (it took a while to find a CD and a burner) with mp3 files and I could listen to it in the car!
I now have noticed that sometimes when I start the car the stereo will show "NO FILE" message... I need to eject and reinsert the disk to get the disk to work again... have to figure this one now.
It looks like original speakers were changed during the production? I have not got the visible gold areas through the speaker cover, and I have tried 2008 Think with far worse sound than mine. Acrually, mine is quitw good with the sub upgrade I did a few years ago.

So, I'll stick to what I have.
Did you use the rear channel from the car stereo to drive the subwoofer, or did you use its own amplifier?
Is this the 8" or the 10" model?
I found this https://www.banggood.com/Kuerl-10-Inch-600W-Power-Under-Seat-Enclosed-Car-Subwoofer-Amplifier-Bass-Speaker-p-1266104.html?cur_warehouse=ES&rmmds=search
But the size seems a bit different.
Do you mind taking some photos and publishing?
I believe you won't be able to mount such a big sub as 8" or 10" in the rear. The one I bought measures 28.5 cm length, which is just what is available back there. The speaker inside is not round, more square.

It fills half the width as you can see. My stereo Pioneer DAB has sub out, so I can plug in directly, and adjust the bass boost from the stereo, which is a plus.
I can take some photos.
I found the same sub available elsewhere:

Looking good!
Why did you need to use the 6mm adapter ring?
Also, will the grill that comes with a speaker fit? My original is broken.
The 6mm spacer ring is needed because the speakers are a bit too large for the opening in the door.
Since the speaker is a cone, if you position it 6mm away from the whole the diameter that would make contact with the shole decreases.
No sure about the grill that comes with the speakers... I suspect that they would fit, but not sure how good. I will see if I can try that this weekend.
I see. Windows are closing all the way down?
no problems with the windows
Have you tried putting the Pioneer cover?
Will it fit?
No, sorry. Have not been to the garage with the Think yet - I had problems with another car that I needed to fix.
I took couple of photos with the covers that came with the speakers and another car.
I added them to the original album - https://photos.app.goo.gl/C2bP3DpDkCJHfkUt7
I think they fit dimension wise, but I am not sure how would they get attached.
See the photos and let me know if you need more photos.
You can always 3d print the cover if you know someone with 3d printer.
Or buy the spare covers -

I haven't tested these but I believe they are like the originals.
Thanks, looking good.
I am planning to put the covers altogether with the Pioneer speakers, so I guess they will fit fine with the 4 screws.
Edit: I have also downloaded the 3D file of a ring adapter, it's going to be printed out by a local company. Thanks for sharing it.
The ring adapter is just a ring - there is nothing special about it. You could do it with mdf or other material if you have instruments and skill.
In any event, please take some photos and publish here.
