speakers

[kylehimself]

this is my first post, so hello! im looking to change my speakers, can't be bothered going to a shop and don't want to poke about at them myself, so can anyone tell me what size the speakers in the door and the tweeters on the dash are? and are they componants?

hi mate


how r u?

what car you got??

ive got a megane, and its 5.25" drivers in he doors and 1" tweeters in the dash!

ive got a 1.4 16v dynamic in that electric kinda blue colour, just got it a few weeks ago, its great! you wouldn't have any idea wot the best alpine speakers would be to go for?

Unless you get the Pioneer speakers you'd be a bit stuffed to fit them.

You can get other speakers to fit.. but you'll need to cut up your dash to fit the tweeters and you might end up having water leaking into your door pockets if you fit larger 5.25" door speakers.

wick! im lookin' to get a good sound system goin', are there any speakers in the back, there seems to be a small speaker grill but doesn't look like you can remove it, thats if theres even any speakers there!

[mintyman5]

there are speakers in there probably , they are the same size as the fronts , i fitted pioneers all round in mine , ts-e1395's in the back and ts-q131c's in the front

nice, is the back panel easy to get off? i had a look at the front speakers and tweeters, there easy to get to, but im a bit scared about messin' about with the back one's cause im not sure how easy they are to access. fancy getting a 15" alpine sub in the boot, i love the ol' bass, being a bassist i would tho!

[mintyman5]

easy if you take the rear seats out first , hard if you dont as i found out...lol

cheers for the advice, il give it a go, just as soon as i get money to replace the speakers, i recently hit a wee clio a wrecked his driver side wing and wheel, so i gotta pay for that , don't worry tho, the megane is ok!

[ICEMAN]

be careful with the type of speaker that you get for the fronts...as stated above!!

otherwise you will need to get a beracket made to fit behind the speaker mount to bring the magnet away from the windown inside........but if your bracket is too thick, then your covers will not go back on properly


ive fitted 6" mids in the rear on wodden baffels!! it wan;t a problem for the installer!!

the tweeters are large then 1" but if you have bought new tweeters then they will come with a bracket, sourround or somthing that you can get to fit in the place.

I will take some pictures of my speakers and show you what i mean!!




and why do you want alpine speaker??

[kylehimself]

pics wud b great! i wanted alpine ones cause i thot they where good and reliable, but im open to suggestions!

[ICEMAN]

ive taken some pics, but havn't had time to upload them....probably tomorrow (thursday)

ive got Hertz....and they are awwwsome!!!

how much do you want to spend?? that is your basis on what speaker you can get.

£0 - £99

£100 - £199

£200 +

[kylehimself]

well once i pay the money i owe for my accident, im not really stuck for cash. im just after good quality speakers that wont cracle n wot not when the high bass goes through, that can be fitted easy without leaky pockets or any of that mess! so money isn't really an issue! also, after sumthin' that will be suited to a gd 15" subwoofer, any ideas are welcome!

[ICEMAN]

well ive got the MTX 9500 44 15" sub
strapped it to a 2.5KW amp and the bass is astromimical!!!


just got the hertz recently and they are just running in and they are keeping up with the sub.....clear clean and crisp sound!!!




there is no point spending....say £20 on sum speakers then later buying a better set for more cos the 1st ones are not good enough to keep up with your sub.

in my experience, you can change everything, but what kind of music will your front play....all sorts right, where as your sub wuill play bass!!

so you need to get a propa set of components.

there is a guy i know who is selling the MTX TCI 5.25" for liek £175ish if you want i will give you his email address

[kylehimself]

i think im gonna gor for alpine or pioneer stuff, audison hertz stuff ,is top end equipment and as much as money isnt really an issue, i dont think i can justify spending so much. so if any1 cud suggest gear in that kinda good pioneer price bracket that would be sweet. im talkin front mids, tweeters, sub and amp
