ive blown one of my front Speakers 😢 now I was in the future going to change all my audio but it's looking like I might have to do it now. But I'm stuck on what to do and what Speakers to get and do I have to change my head unit aswell ,that's what people keep telling me but I don't want to cause I like my head unit. Any advice and suggestions would be much appreciated ✌️

Hi Katie,

It all depends on how much you want to spend really,

And

How long you plan to keep the car i.e is it worth a good investment or a quick fix.

You can upgrade Speakers now;

And add an amplifier to them at a later date.

I recommend JL Audio C3 Speakers if you plan on keeping the car a few years,

Or

Pioneer if seeking a quick fix for reasonable sound,

Either way your fronts will be a 6.5" component fitment,

You will need aftermarket speaker adaptors to house your new Speakers.

Cheapest uk supplier of JL Audio is www.soundevo.co.uk

So if changing front speakers the shopping list would be:

Replacement door card clips:

Front Speaker adaptors:

Dei Boom 6.5" speaker baffles:

Recommended JL Audio Speakers:

Then go to local DIY store purchase:

Eight M6 x 25 stainless steel bolts

Eight M6 Nylon lock nuts stainless steel

These are used to secure the aftermarket speaker brackets to the doors.

Regardless of 6.5" component speaker brand; the fitting method is the same using the brackets,

Alternatively Pioneer 6.5" components:

You can add an amplifier to these speakers at a later date such as a 5 channel which will also power a sub.

You don't need to change headunit to get RCA outputs simply purchase a Hi or low output RCA adaptor;

This takes a speaker output and converts it to RCA.

It is only when installing an amplifier that you will require additional cables and RCA convertors.

If purchasing i highly recommend Vibe 4AWG amplifier wiring kits.

Any further questions feel free to ask.
