Anyone got any recomendations as to what to put in the front doors of MY97 to replace the standard speakers..

I've got a kenwood Cd head unit and would like to just run them off of that for the time being..

Dont wanna spend more than about £70 really..

Stretch to around the £100 and go for some Infinitys well worth the extra.

Ali Scott

what size, model number etc??

the chosen one

they're 17cm at the front and u could buy some nice sony explodes

Ali Scott

I've had sony speakers in the past and they sound crap, want something that will sound mice off the head unit..

Sony in my opinion are very poor quality in the Car Audio sector ... there are better brands (again in my opinion) out there

Ali Scott

so what shall I put in the front doors then, the standard ones are sounding crap..

goonasuk

If you cans tretch to Focal Access (£120) this is a good option

Or some Alpine components these are usually on bargain in the back of most car mags

I gave up in the end and fitted Infinity's in the front and Fosgates on the rear shelf...fcukin awesome innit Kaz

Ali Scott

Ali Scott,
I'm fortunate to have two cars. Mine is a UK300 and the wife's is Nissan Micra. Nissan do two fantastic speaker pods for the rear shelf and we put 5" Sony Xplods in there, running from a Sony MD unit. The sound is really good, clear with good bass. Not earth-shattering but enough clean with no overhang - notes stop and start as they should. Did you have a bad batch of speakers?

I know what hi fi should sound like - my home system is Linn-based and cost £5000 and the Sony's sound great in their environment. The fronts will be replaced at the next service (we have a good dealer who will replace the 'loose' Nissan crap originals with Sony's with no labour charge - they have to take the inner door off anyway !!)

BF they are brill

loud and bassy

fitted focals in my98 had 2 mess around cutting mdf spacers but definitley worth it in the end

Went for the cheap and easy option in the end and bought Pioneer TS-G1746, only £44 and sound alot better than the standard jobs..
Gonna concentrate now on getting my amps and Sub-box in the back, might upgrade to some components in the front later on in the year..

Cheers to everyone for your advise!!

Hi Ali

I had the same question as your original post. Although I am still using the original head unit.

Were the Pioneer speakers that you chose in the end direct replacements? No modifying of anything?

Thanks for any help.

Cheers
Brett

Brett C,


No the ones I got were a pain in the *** and I had to **** around loads to get them to fit..

Thanks Ali.
