speaker upgrade advice needed

[carl64]

Morning guys, I'm looking for some speaker upgrade advice. Recently I upgraded the dodgy standard stereo in my 3 door saxo, to a Sony HU with an output of 52 watt X 4.
I'm not looking to break the bank by going for components or amps or anything like that, I just want to upgrade the existing 13cm fronts, and the 10cm rears, with hopefully 3 way speakers in the front and either 3 way or 2 way in the back, so that I can enjoy music without distortion.
Any advice on what speakers I should go for would be greatly appreciated. :y:

You got part ownership in JBL or something? You keep pushing their products mate, he he.

[carl64]

Ashley, why do you suggest a 2 way over a 3 way speaker at the front? Surely a 3 way would give a better range of sound? And for the extra few quid.........why not?

Find me a 3 way component that's only a few quid more expensive than a 2 way.

that's before we've mentioned added instalation, you'd have to build speaker pods to have a 3 way component system

check out my suggested link, if i got it right for the front

That's a coaxial speaker, I thought you meant 3 way component speakers.

I wouldn't opt for them, why?

- Kenwood speakers are pretty shit
- you won't see any benefit from having multiple drivers in one speaker, 2 way speakers cover the required frequency range
- if they were good, they'd be far far more than £25
- kenwood speakers are pretty shit

[carl64]

I dont think you have read my original thread correctly, I'm not looking for components, I'm looking for coaxials or multiaxials is it do they call them?

[monka]

look at the alpine type g stuff or focal speakers,

or look at the other threads, been about 4 threads this week alone on this

[carl64]

Right, Kenwoods are shit, thats the advice I'm looking for. So........ Your suggestions please lol????

They are good products for the price so he is just helping you out.

I would say go for JBL aswell.

But looks like you got your eye on other things so buy what you want and don't come and complain here afterwards :cool:

[carl64]

Ok monka cheers mate, thanks guys

I've read your post correctly.

as in my above post, I honestly wouldn't opt for 3 way coaxials. there will be virtually no benefit of added frequency range, or definition in the sound (if any at all) in having 3 way coaxials. it's marketing BS as far as I can see.

Right, Kenwoods are shit, thats the advice I'm looking for. So........ Your suggestions please lol????

If you read the first link I posted, you'll see a link for some cheap, half decent coaxials

look at the alpine type g stuff or focal speakers,

Good focal speakers are not cheap.

[carl64]

Muel, I'm here asking for advice on what to get. I got a few things I'm trying to sort and improve on my car, but If I dont get across my requirements initially then I wouldnt be happy afterwards would I?

[monka]

depends what you'd call cheap, lol.

budget focals for around 60-70 a pair, and will sound alot better, i'd sooner do that than stick some £25 kenwoods in for the hell of it. but then maybe thats just me. lol

[carl64]

Yes Ashley, I've read that now thanks mate

[carl64]

I gotta nip out now, back later

[carl64]

Right guys, I'm back, my next question is...........if I fitted the speaker you suggested, would I, at a later date be able to add a tweeter ?

[Jizanthapus]

Which speaker?

If it's a coaxial then no, as it already has a tweeter. You don't want ear piercingly high pitched sounding speakers.

Well, its possible lol.

But if you're thinking that later down the line you'll want a set of tweeters to improve the sound quality - I would just save up the extra and buy a set of budget components. Your ears will thank you :y:

[Jizanthapus]

exactly. Im sort of lost with what you are wanting to do but yeh - instead of buying coax's then deciding to buy better tweeters for them at a later date (?makes no sense?) you might aswell just buy components in the first place.
