[JohnA-88]

Hi all I'm wanting to upgrade the speakers in my car but I aint got a clue what sizes I need and do mk2 Ibiza adapters fit?. Just wondering are the standard ones components??

then what ever speaker make you like

then for the rear some 6x4" speakers

i ran a alpine set up did not like it so changed to JBL much better sound and running through a pioneer avh-p5700 headunit

Just getting round to doing this now so had a quick look on eBay and found a few sets

I really like the look of the FLI's but can't find any rear ones to match so will prob be the JBL ones i go for. I know nothing about speakers so don't know if i need components or cox's.

You can fit components in the front of your car, there is a large speaker at the bottom of the door and a tweeter behind the plastic bit where the mirror bolts to. I pulled the old tweeters off and glued the tweeter in place of the original so it looks nice and standard.

i have all jbl sounds great , even better with the pioneer h/u

JBL are a very good speaker for the price! My mate built a sub £500 pound system in a friends astra gsi and it is cracking for the price!

Avoid FLI at all costs.

Snap, fed up of having a tinny sound system although with decent speakers I think it could be reasonable

 

[kyle'87]

Nice little sealed box with a 10" sub to give you nice and punchy bass and decent ampped comps up front.

Or spend a bit and get quality up front comps with plenty of brown bread will give you a decent return for your money.

 

[jaypee]

Don't scrimp on front speakers, get a decent set and the mid/bass will be much improved.

 

[JohnA-88]

So i can fit coaxials or comps I'm guessing the standard ones are coaxials the only reason I'm replacing them is because they keep popping and crackling Iv'e plugged it into vagcom and got something about 1 rear open circuit and 1 front open circuit. I can't seem to find a make to match front and back.

 

[kyle'87]

Are you upgrading the head unit?

I would strongly recommend doing this as the current one won't be much cop when trying to power better after market speakers.

 

[jaypee]

The standard speakers in the front are components however they use an integrated crossover rather than an external one.
The rears are **** and probably not even worth replacing

 

[JohnA-88]

Na not upgrading the head unit just fitting new speakers to get rid of this popping and crackling. So if I got some aftermarket comps they will need an ext crossover?

 

[jaypee]

Components will come with all necessary parts including crossovers or whatever. You may need to find somewhere to put the crossovers e.g. screw them to the door or something.
This is usually what you get in a box when you buy components:

 

[JohnA-88]

Ahh right so do the crossover terminals say what is what like 2 for the tweeter 2 for the speaker etc. I'm not changing the standard tweeter so how will i connect this to the crossover as it looks like it's connected by a single wire.

 

[JohnA-88]

Still trying to find a make that does both front and back and came across these on eBay any good?
