S666LER Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 same here but would rather only take the cards off once, and hopefully it will be with a new pair of Speakers ready to be fitted at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InstructorPiggy Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 will have a butchers at the rears soon... pay good money for some Speakers...you be surprised at improved quality of Speakers now used and the stereo quality too.... People rip these 'standard' kit out and replace it with something with KENWOOD written on it...and its worse!!! You only get the 6 speaker setup with the optional stereo upgrade to BT/aux or USB. Not a bad idea to upgrade the tweeters too if you are serious about it. Biggest thing to improve quality will be the wiring between Speakers! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S666LER Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 yea i wanna upgrade the tweeters too, but again unsure of the size of them. From what i have read on the internet the wiring is there for the rear Speakers, its just taped to the metal work behind the rear door card?

Steven Dark Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 would assume so :) Sounds like i have some more wiring to do then lol... I already have 6 Speakers, just need some decent one now.. im im gonna be changing the cables too, will probably put the cabling in ready for a sub (hmmm unless the Speakers are that good that i dont need one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraser. Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 If you're upgrading the door Speakers without amplifying them you need to get Speakers with as high a sensitivity as you can, possibly Speakers which are designed to run off the head unit like the custom fit ones Pioneer make. Anything too power hungry will probably sound worse than standard as the head unit amp can't drive them properly. I think the stock speakers sound pretty good (I have the 6 speaker set up). If you want an aftermarket amp Blaupunkt do a series of plug n play amps, there tiny class D digital things than could be hidden behind the glovebox etc. They also come with wiring adaptor harnesses that plug into your standard stereo and loom to take power from the battery, input signal from the stereo and output the power to the speakers without having to cut the standard loom at all.

Really looking forward to seeing details of your new setup in the new year, maybe you could do a guide? Also are you going to do anything to stop the Speakers vibrating/rattling the door panels? Not too sure if I'll ever bother upgrading the standard Speakers as they are already ok, but may consider a sub next year, that hertz amp looks good, what sub/box are you going to connect it up to? Think that piggy mentioned somewhere that he was going to run the powerline from the battery under the car, will also be looking forward to seeing how he gets on with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
