6 x 4's
« on: 26 July 2006, 13:35 »
ok guys this is more of a boast than anything else.. won a set of clarion 50w babies on ebay for £1, and £5 postage from jersey! 2 days later theyve arrived and i've managed to fit them in! (long story!!! took me 4 attempts and 2 hours to get them in just got to wire them tonight!!!

The main reason i'm posting is that i'm wondering if any one else had replaced theirs? Basically mine have never worked since i got the car (over a year ago) and i've only just got my arse into gear to get sorted and buy some. I was told to get 6 x 9's but if imhonest i dont want to cut parcel shelf! are 6 x4's any good? opinions please...

I bought some 6x4's off here and the difference is fantastic. If your planning on keeping things standard to look at then its the right way to go and your not losing any boot space. :cool:

I upgraded my 6x4's to some Alpine units, and also added some 6x9's to the parcel shelf WITHOUT cutting holes in them. The sound still filters through the carpet covering, and if you use black headed screws no-one will notice !!

I'm glad to hear its a worthwhile upgrade as I'll be putting a sub in the boot and just want some rear fill and 6 x 4's sound like just the job. Let us know what you think of them when you've wired them up *han*

I went for Kenwood 6x9s in a really well made mdf stealth shelf, looks totally oem and the sound is awesome!

I've got a set of JBL 6x4s to install in my girlfriends Polo, one day!  Helpfully VW are so tight they didnt even fit wires for rear speakers, so I've gotta find some way to run wires to the rear of the car  :angry:
