Whats people got i want to change mine and i am running a jvc with 4x50w output would i have to change wiring or could i chop them in !?
 
Well its all up to you.

Whats your budget? I'm doing a custom install myself. I have 160w RMS going to each speaker :) Not fitted them yet though.

Your headunit will be putting out around 20w RMS x 4 and 50w x 4 peak. Never go by the peak wattage cos it means nothing tbh.

Most speakers will fit. You just have to make them fit. My speakers are very deep. I have had to make some custom speaker rings to bring the speaker out from the door panel. The door card still fits over and you can't tell they have been changed from the looks.
You can buy some speaker adapters off eBay that will allow you to put some deeper speakers in. But if you want anything like my speakers, custom is the only way.

Its all up to your budget and what you want. Just changing the speaker won't give you that much off an improvement, you might have better highs, but your bass will still be crap.
Sound deaden your doors to help the speakers create cleaner bass too.

Well if you've got a Sub fitted, then you should have pre-outs for an external amplifier.

£50 isn't a big budget. If you want some heavy hitters, you will need to spend a few more notes.

My Hertz Hi-Energy Component Front speakers are fully amped & they blow your legs off! Haha.

Best bet with distortion is Sound proof all the rattling panels & surrounding area. I've got some Dynamat to go into mine :)
 
You will need pre-outs. Your headunit should have atleast one for the sub.
But you can do it otherways, its just a lot harder and not as good quality.

How are the Hi-energy speakers? I was gonna buy them! But decided to get some Rockford Fosgate Power speakers.

I aren't gonna put mine in without sound deadening because I will have to take everything apart again and I cant be arsed.
 
might be able to invest more money if amp powered speakers are the way foward then i might have to to look into this !

ive got a fusion bass tube with a built in amp and a jvc head unit if this helps anyways i need to go sleep ill talk tomoz about it thanks for the help mate!

Yes there's other ways, i.e. Phono cable spliters.

The Hi Energy speakers are immense! Love them :) Give my Music sooo much Power/Energy [B)]

Got them for the price of the Hertz Energy's aswell. The local Audio Company who I've known for some while gave me a 20% discount. :) They were cheaper than any web prices I found.

I must of spent about 1k all round roughly. £100 on just cables/wiring! haha.

Here's my Practice Boot Build: http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=233400

I wish I had done the sound proofing at the same time as the Hi-Energy speakers are rattling my doors to piece's! :D Just got to find time to get it done.
