Lander2210 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Hi, I'm new to this and I have a problem with my standard Speakers sounding unbelievably rubbish!! All I wanted to know was, can I change the standard Speakers to upgraded ones and put a cone or padding behind it, so it doesn't sound like there going to break. I mostly want to change them because I love my music and I don't want to change my head unit so just want uprated Speakers for now. Any advice on where I could get some speakers from not 6'' x 9''s as they won't fit without editing the car door (this is something I really don't want to do.) Many thanks, Alec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOCA Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Hello and welcome to the club! Yes, it is possible to upgrade your Speakers, several forum members have done this already and i remember a thread about this (if i find it i will put a link up for you- it may have been for a Focus though) - its also possible someone has posted a thread on how to change the Speakers in modification projects..... (again i will have a look) There is special acoustic matting that you can get to line the inside of the doors, i have been told it makes a big difference to the sound in the car (improving it) but it adds weight (the reason i never used it myself) - it lines the inside of the door and stops the "resonance" "drumming"/ "tinnyness", you choose the correct thickness so it does not interfere withe the window lifters/ innards of the door etc It can increase the bass output of the Speakers too (by reducing unwanted out-of-phase radiation) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/car-Vehicle-underlay-carpet-mat-matting-sound-proof-proofing-deadening-acoustic-/300816378453?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item460a0daa55#ht_1191wt_932 These are for studios and may fill up with water in some areas and are for mid/ treble but may still be useful http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Profiled-Pyramid-Acoustic-Sound-Absorption-Foam-Panels-75mm-Depth-x-4-Tiles-/300798760808?pt=UK_Sound_Vision_Other&hash=item460900d768#ht_2076wt_1069 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassen Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Check out Dynamat for sound proofing. I have heard great things about it and plan to use it on my car. This is an example of what another member did to his car:http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/44150-guide-to-complete-stereo-installation-focus-mk2/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
