I'm also planning to change the standard rear speakers in my MY99 shortly so would be very interested in peoples recommendations for an easy quality upgrade. Can a good improvement be had for around £50?

Cheers,
James

I put some kenwood 6949s (I think that's the number...) in the back of my Scoob. All that it required was drilling some new mounting holes for the fixing bolts.

It's a much easier job if there are 2 of you doing it - one to hold the speaker, and the other to lay in the boot marking and drilling holes.

They cost about £25 from MCS, and do show quite an improvement. I'm using them as infill for the component speakers up front - do the front ones first - that's where the sound quality comes from.

Just installed some Infinity 3-way reference 6 x 9's into my classic (and 16cm Infinities into front doors) - easy fit but then was just upgrading the previous naff 6 x 9's installed by a previous owner. New screw holes have been drilled for me - watch out that you don't go 2 far and cut into the parcel shelf material if you DIY.

2002 kit, sub £80 from letsbuycaraudio.com

Installed from boot, no need to remove parcel shelf and plenty of room around the metal bits.

Massive improvement - I know that fronts are where it's supposed to be where all the action comes from, but even with heavy bias front wise, rears do a lot more than just fill!

One very happy (deaf) bunny!
