    Over the weekend I believe I managed to blow a speaker in the 360.. its the top speaker in the box between the seats. I'm not 100% sure its blown because it looks like theres a piece of plastic laying on the speaker between the grill and the speaker itself that is causing a ton of rattle noise. To the point I had to fade the speakers to only the front.

    How in the world do I get the speaker grills off to remove the loose piece and see whats going on?

    What size are the speakers and are there any recommendations for fitment and replacement?

    Thanks!

    it is supposed to be a sub not a spkr. it is a POS. I replaced all of my speakers with Focal and as far as I know they have the only "sub" that will fit in the factory box. I did replace the head unit as well but left the stock amp, the sound is 100x better but not great.

    I don't know if this will help, but there's a thread on ferrarichat dot com on this:
    go to Ferrarichat and pick the modern v8 link. It's titled "Speaker-subwoofer-Sound system"

    It sounds like the grill just pops off with pressure. Be careful not to scratch the leather or the grill. They make special plastic tools to take apart interior plastic pieces, that's what I would use. They are only a few bucks. I bought mine from Harbor Freight and use them all the time.

    I have pried and pried and still cant get the grill off!

    So are both speakers "subs" or is it just the top one? What a good replacement for it? I havent found any subs that small!

    The speaker grills pry off, use a small flathead screwdriver.

    The top speaker is a passive and the bottom is active.

    The speaker likely needs repairing, pretty inexpensive, most any speaker repair shop can do it.

    You can buy a replacement from Ferrari if you want the same crappy sound for ~ $350 or use this one from Focal for $500. They make a 5" drop in replacement.

    Have Andrew at naders shop do it. He replaced my door speakers and it made a huge difference. The subs suck, even worse on the 360. Andrew was going to replace my subs too but I can live with it now. Sounds good enough.

    They do pry off by the way. But if I were doing it I would just replace the entire unit, both speakers and the door speakers too. The sound from the door speakers is where most of the audio comes from anyways. Plus it looks exactly stock.

    There are quite a few thread on replacing the entire box. That would be my choice.

    lol, nope..speaker crumbled in my hands when the grill came off.. The surrounds on both the active and passive were completely ruined.. Had to fade the stereo all the way to the front just to be able to listen to it..

    Guess its time for an upgrade.
