6x9`s or not??

Thanks u 2! Will do that then!

deffo dont get 6x9s! like the guys have said get a good set of component speakers for the front and run them off the amp. The sound will be so much better. having speakers in the parcel shelf will only drag the sound stage back to way behind you so your not getting the best of it.

Thanks, ive been looking and have seen some nice ones, they are 17cm speakers in the MK4 yeah?

Gotta slightly disagree.

I did the doors/components swap first then wanted more and got the 6 x 9's which was a great improvement!
Then did the sub and that made everything fit!
Wouldnt change or add anything!

Yes the sound is behind you but its a fuller sound I feel.

But thats just my personal opinion and maybe my ears aint as good as they used to be!

I think il do the door speakers first, as if i did get 6x9`s id have them on a stealth shelf anyway, wouldnt want them on show, if im then still not satisfied, then il get the 6x9`s

Oh yes thats deff the way to go first!

Depends what power your Headunit is, as to whether or not you should amp the fronts.

I hear you len, but neither of what we have said is incorrect. You possibly will get a fuller sound from having 6x9s, but the sound stage will be brought back, ie we are both right. I see it as a question of quality or quantity. In my mk3 iv just got the focals amped in the front and a sub and it sounds awesome. Its loud enough to damage the ears but good quality too and it sounds best exactly where im sitting.

I would also say youd be best to amp the front speakers no matter what hu you had, unless the amp is crap and less powerful that the unit, then theres not a great deal of point in having it atall. throw some decent comps in the front, amp them up and see what you think when running them alone with the sub. I certainly wont be going back!

I feel a sound comparison coming! 

Phil - you going to E38 again this year? If so we'll do it then!

[golfpro]

im doin my best to make sure Im there! Sound off sounds good to me buddy! 

LETS BE 'AVIN YOU (in a delia smith style!)

[Len]

O.K.

I didnt say sound off! Just a mutual appreciation of each others system!
But if ya want me to crank it up.........

 


Might have that spoiler painted by then! :embarassed:
