New speakers...

Post by gazza_no7 »

Been looking around and I want to upgrade my speakers in my car ready for when I can afford to get a small sub... I only want to spend around £30-£40 on 4 speakers (2 for the doors + 2 for the rear). I have found these: http://bit.ly/15gn3HV but there are no reviews on them so not sure how well they will sound. Anyone got any ideas or a few other speaker ideas? Need to be in my price range though!

First set have the highest output and are good to 90db :grin: which sounds mint tbh

Middle ones are poo enough and id say theyl crack alot when turned up

But id go for pionner if your worried about quality purly as its a known good brand
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Lol don't matter any anyway the front speakers are 6" and the wires are already there the rear i think but not to sure could be 4" and normally the wires should be ready to plug and play u would need to check if the harness has a connection to plug the tweeters into.

Lmao its the fun of cars hopefully it don't rain. Like i say i redid my car when i first bought it hated the sound of the manufacture speakers. If ya don't have the connection for tweeters ta can get speaker sets with tweeters and they both go into a cross over switch so that is the other way to do it :)

Are you pressing this clip towards the wires?

Other than that just wiggle it
