Default Which make of Speakers

Hi Guys

I've tried to do a search but still haven't found the answer I'm looking for

The speakers in the front of MY00 UK classic have blown and I wanna replace them ASAP.

I don't need anything fancy and would like just a straight swap? are there any decent speakers out there which are a straight swap? I don't wanna spend more than £150.

Any particular makes I should aim for?

Cheers

£150 is quite a lot! This may be enough to get them professionally installed, hence not caring about whether they are a straight swap!


I remember hearing Focal did some slims ones, not sure if they go in without any mods though. Maybe search on focal?

Just upgraded to Kenwoods in mine per the local audio specialists recommendations. 160w in the front and 120w in the back which they say were the biggest the could fit in? Cost £140.00 fitted along with head unit installation.

Dont know whether thats good or bad just got so pissed off with the standard ****e!

Hiya mate

I've just got the standard speakers in and they are definately blown but when I get the new speakers I will definately be using some sound proofing stuff.

I just wanna get some new ones ASAP, after searching it looks like I gonna bite the bullet and go for Infinity's they can't be that difficult to install myself!

Sound ok for the money. Must admit I'm not too delighted but I think it's the head unit at fault. Need to read the instructions to get the "double impact mass treble bass Xplod" and whatever else switched off and set it up properly.

The infinity's do seem to get get good reviews.
