The Resolution (VOID YOUR WARRANTY!)

I'd decided to rip out the speakers and fit "better" ones. An old pair of headphones should do the trick.
This is a shot of one of original speakers in its pouch.

Pop it open...

















De-solder the connector to re-use...
















You could probably fit the new speakers in the original case (speakers look the same size). I chose not to, thinking the enclosure has an effect on sound quality.
















Fit the connector to the new speaker (you may need to glue too) and re-assemble...
















The new speakers are slightly bigger overall, but stay in place and don't snag your ears.
















With both speakers in place, I powered up and tried the same tracks; IT ROCKS! A million times better and some half good bass!

Haven't had chance to ride with it yet. Watch this space for an update.
