VR6Gill 1 Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Mate I replaced mine a few months ago and i found the easiest was is to use the existing wires and loom (no need to try and drill holes in the door, it's a b****!) And depending on the size of your crossovers they should just sit nicelt in the dash under the tweeters.You will find the the speaker output from you stereo goes to your tweeter in your dash then another lead comes from your tweeters to your door speakers and thefore perfect place to put the crossover.

b19drg 0 Posted August 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 what speakers did you go with GIll ? Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Gill 1 Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 I went for some Alpine R Type components as i just wanted some decent sound like you get in most new cars.Got great clarity but found i still had to run a small sub with a very small amp just for some low mellow bass.If you are after bass from your door speakers i think you will find it very hard to achieve.

b19drg 0 Posted August 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 will add a sub eventually going fir 2 sets of copmponents 10 inch sub and a 5 channrel amp, not to mental just want clarity, have been looking at the alpine r tyoe they seem quite good for the price , are your compononts amped pr just sub ? and what head unit you got ?

VR6Gill 1 Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 I have one pair of Alpine comps to the front running straight from the head unit and nothing to the rear disconnected them as you wont really benefit from them but give it a go play with the fader to see the benefits for yourself.I have a Alpine IDAX100 ipod unit (I think) or something similar.

b19drg 0 Posted August 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 really so just 1 set of components and nothing in the rear except sub ? Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 In my VR i had front components and left standard rears in place, had a sub but was rarely in the car Link to post Share on other sites
b19drg 0 Posted August 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 did it sound good , and did you amp your components ? Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 yep had 2 amps one for fronts and one for sub...overkill but i had 2 amps anyway so used em.Sound from front was fantastic...rears were just for fill really Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Gill 1 Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 It all boils down to personal preference but like a said just have a play around with the standards for now to see if you will benefit or as Craggsy said leave standards in the rear. Link to post Share on other sites
