Front Speakers

[stubar]

I have stock speakers in my front doors currently (6x9's on parcel shelf) and sub in boot with amp.

I would like to replace the front door speakers for between £40-£100.

What speakers would you recommend for good replacements?

ty :)

[stubar]

nvm, i found a post lower down the page that recommends Hertz for £70. I will go for these :)

yeah hertz ftw!

ditch the 6x9s too

[stubar]

get rid of the 6x9's and replace with what ?

I am in the process of making a new mdf parcel shelf and have not cut the 6x9 holes yet.

[Ashleyp]

lol no 6x9s.. front components off amp.. and sub off another amp

thats all you need.. 6x9s = :n:

[stubar]

so just front speakers and sub in boot? I have an amp and active sub in the boot currently.

I have alpine CDA-9812RB 60Wx4 so is fairly capable, and a not so expensive kenwood amp which is in the boot and FLI 12" sub plus pioneer 6x9's for parcel shelf.

I know the sub isnt that great, but it does vibrate my hair and seat (but I would like more bass!) Is it worth replacing the stock speakers in the back?

So many questions!!

[Ashleyp]

nah..

good set up in a saxo (unless your into competition) is:

front components (in your case, the hertz ones) run off a decent amp that gives them correct rms

then:

sub in the boot, run off an amp giving it correct rms..

you could use the kenwood amp to power your speakers?, as i assume the fli sub, is run off a fli active amp

[stubar]

yup the fli sub is active so has its own amp

the kenwood amp is 4 channel and the hu has a half-decent amp in it also. seems a shame to only use 2 channels where there is ample power to host another 2 speakers somewhere in the back (and to make passengers in the rear enjoy the music !!)

i deffo dont do competition, but would like to be able to turn my stereo up full-wack (only goes to 25/35 currently with the stock speakers and that is amped only by the hu)

my car-audio knowledge is quite limited, but would it not be better to have some speakers putting out some mid-range somewhere other than ankle-level?

[Coonper]

Thats why you buy comonents mate. They have a seperate woofer and tweeter, therefore the woofer can do all the mids and the tweeter can do the highs. Then the sub does the lows. Its a balanced set up and is proven to work well.

With regards to rear speakers, they just arent needed in a small car like a saxo. The sound stage is everywhere with sound bouncing off all different aspects of the car. All you need is those hertz comps, run off a littl 60rms amp and your away mate.;)

[stubar]

thanks for the advice. Gonna order those hertz now and pop em in. I guess I need to make a couple of holes in my door for the tweeters (and remove door panel to wire).

Should be fun....!!

you should have a good read of the stickies before posting mate :y:

[stubar]

ok ok :) I missed reading the stickies in this forum, and I just seen a massive sticky to where this thread evolved to. my bad. Thanks for pointing it out... deffo no 6x9 for me!!
