anyone want cheap high quality comps?
 

well look no further:

http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/pro...s_id/1167.html

these are great comps, i have fitted a set in a mates car and can back this up:)

im sure coonper, csvtr, and pred can all say that these possibly the best comps for under £50

just a little bit of info for all the guys i see posting comments about budget comps.. and thought id make everyone clear of the special offer that CAD are currently doing

also: anyone wanting a small budget amp with good quality to power these comps..

http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/alpi...22-p-5748.html

something like this will do the job nicely :)

oh and yes.. the amp is underpowering the comps by 5wrms each.. but on a budget set up its all you need. and it will sound a LOT better than all coax speakers on the market within the same pricerange. and better than all comps within the same pricerange

hope that little bit of info helps anyone out who wants better sound for around £100

Yes, as said, i will definitely vouch for these comps.

They are well up there with some of the big named comps.

I ran mine in the saxo, with 150rms into each and they thrived off it! They never smelt and they still worked after a year. I gave them hell!! :evil:

ash thanks for the advice, at moment just have a sub and amp , what extra wires will i have to run for these comps and the amp? just as im useless at this stuff :(

cheers :y:

great stuff for the 100 pound mark :y:

and if your premium in here look for members discounts for the promo code for free delivery ;)

ash cheers mate!

Just ordered those very same speakers a few days ago :y:

and I'm after that particular amp (based on what pred has suggested :) )

ads!

go for it ads you wont be dissapointed :y:

and remember premium promo code :p ;)

hahaha...

that person wouldn't budge on the amp on ebay... so I may just buy that amp if it's recommended.

Still keeping an eye on that head unit too.... :)

no worries mate.. was just flicking through the CAD website and saw the offer

i knew there would be a few people on here intrested in a set of cheap good comps

as for the wiring question earlier: check the ice FAQ's in the stickies.. i beleive preds "basic ice FAQ's" has a few diagrams on wiring systems

pah did he have make an offer on it??

headunit is awesome if you can get it :y:

if you had these in the front of youur saxo would you bother putting them in the back 2 or just leave them standard as you wont hear them to much?
as the speakers are only £35 at the moment guess could put them front and rear then just have a sub also then sound system complete?

Also have these speakers atm and been puzzled about which amp to run with em, might just get this one now you've mentioned it! Cheers :A:

rear speakers arent needed in a small car like the saxo, the fronts are more than enough

nah.. never put rear speakers in a car.. all you need is a set of amped comps up front and a sub in the boot.. rear speakers ruin sound staging and SQ

no worries mate.. here to help :)

Wrong, the amp is overpowering by 15 RMS ;)

Those comps are 2 Ohm impendance, meaning the amp will be throwing 70W RMS at them :)

Sorry to be nit-picky, either way speakers can always handle more power :D

I'll vouch for the 507c's as well. They take a bashing very very well and some more. :y:

will there be overheating issues then?

Wow what an amazing price for such a highly recommeded set of component speakers, thanks for sharing the great price with us Ashleyp, wish I could afford both amp & speakers, think I'll be investing in aset of speakers now then save up for the amp at a later date.

Few pics to help people get an idea of what there getting.

as i have mutant tweaters, kenwood crossovers and sony speakers i thought it was time for a change, so just orderd mine, thanks pred for mentioning about the discount, u just saved me £6.99

just ordered the components and amp, they look good quality for the money. is there anythin else I need to get? wiring kit or sound deadening?

both ideally...cant remember which amp it was if it takes 4 gauge buy that if not 8 gauge... sound proofing will help stop rattles and produce a better woofer sound...

is it easier to sound proof when u install the speakers or can you go back at a later date and sound proof?

i would of done it while youve got the door card off first time round...

sounds logical, cheers mate. is wiring the amp and components up/fittin tweeters fairly straight forward then or can it be quite complicated?

cheers mate im going to get some
everyone says they are really good cheers for advice people!

cheers for that mate.. ill edit 1st post

i thought they were a 4ohm speaker..

cheers for picking up on that though

Ordered mine last night, glad I did as there not available now, all sold out :panic:

Been doing my research on these :afro:

Looks like I'll be joining the purchasers if funds hold out for the next few days.

My GTO507c arrived this morning, well happy, thought it wouldnt be till the new year.

Implicable service from Car Audio Direct, i ticked the 'text me updates' button which is free during the order, didnt expect it to work but it did, got text when it shipped and when it should be delivered which was accurate, highly recommend anyone ordering from Car Audio Direct :y:

Has anyone else had their's yet?

ManC

orderd some things from CAD a few months back (comps i think, and some deadening) come the next day :)

never had a problem with any car audio shop tbh

Mine arrived today as well :)

seconded on the comments about CAD... awesome

Fitting them as we speak :cool:

shame they dont sell them anymore :n:

got mine today aswell, well easy to fit

you guys that have bought these, you won't be disappointed :y:

so far so good.

Tweeters and nice and crispy... haven't bolted the woofers down yet (just in case I needed to trouble shoot)... I put a layer of DynoMat in as well so looking forward to hearing these speakers in their full blown glory. Just gotta get the bedding in stage over with :err: :wall:

be patient young one :p

hhahaha legend.

still need to get an amp and decent headunit though (outbidded on that head unit :err: )

noooooooooooooo ads ill have a ganders again see what i can come up with for you :y:

EDIT - none at the moment bud, just keep a look out daily :), run it past me if your not sure though :y:

I had my alpine amp today but no sign of the speakers, oredered them both from CAD at the same time. hopefully wont be to long as I got my new head unit now aswell

Would you mind measuring the amp for us (width & depth), I'm curious to know if it will fit under the passenger seat.

Thanks.

sorry about the delay in respone, the dimensions of the amp are as follows:
not exact measurements, but as good as I could do with a measuring tape.
hope these help
width: 190mm
length: 268mm
depth: 54mm
