succulent-c 1 Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 I'm wanting to upgrade my speaker system but don't really want to stick a big sub / amp combo in the boot as I need the space. Would simply upgrading the existing speakers be just as good in terms of volume and quality? If so can anyone recommend a good set? Ta Link to post Share on other sites
dman78 1 Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 i've got a fusion 10" amplified tube in the boot and it leaves me with plenty of room Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 same as above i have a JBL twin 10" self powered tube and theres plenty of room left over. I recently binned the stock speakers and on recommendation got InPhase XTC6 and they are more than capable, theyll go full volume on my alpine cda-9866R no problem. They also fit behind the stock enclosures as the front doors are pretty tight for , and the stock grilles will go on with just a bit of flattening the edge rim.The stock system is a basic component system, so you may want to replace with a component system, rather than just coaxials as the stock mounting positions aurally arent that bad Link to post Share on other sites
CALICO 130 Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 if you take the pockets of the doors then you can mount the speakers from behind it means taking the door panels off and depending on the mounting depth of the speakers you may need to trim the cardboard behind the speaker to get better sound Link to post Share on other sites
Rustyman 0 Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 I upgraded rear doort speaker to FLY ones DONT use fly the rubber seal splits .. Go for VIBE/FUSION or PIONEERS shallow mount also upgarde the dash mounted tweeters .. I'd also recomend dynomat sounddeadening makes world diff to vibrations and sound quality Link to post Share on other sites

Lukey. 381 Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 you have to be careful mounting them on the back of the door card cos the window system is very close, get a deep basket speaker and it will foul on the window and/or mechanism Link to post Share on other sites

Lukey. 381 Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 you can hear the runner scraping past the poly liner in mine too, but it isnt causing a reliability issue with the window either Link to post Share on other sites
