Best Mk II Door/dash speaker/tweeter combo?

[reserves]

Hi

I have a 1991 Mk II Golf with standard door speakers and tweeters in the dash.

I want to upgrade these speakers to better quality ones.

Does anyone recommend any sets? I know Mac Audio used to do one when I had my first Mk II.

Where can I buy them and for how much?

I am running a high power head unit but no Amp.

Cheers

Thanks, however I want ones that fit in the standard place, I don't want to cut into my door panel.

u said door speakers. afaik the only ones that go in the doors are like mine. u only have to cut the door car slightly with those speakers cos the magnets are so big.

Also try out Pheonix Gold 5inch ?99 ones, thats what I just put in...but you HAVE to cut a small hole in the door panel, because the pannels arent formed comepletly flat dude.

Also take a look at the Pioneer TS-A131C (160W).. They are a combo with 13cm door speakers and separate tweekers.

I mounted the 13cm's in the door pockets (fitted perfectly) and then removed the original dashboard speakers, broke out the speaker and unsed the actual speaker ring as a template to make some small mdf templates to drop the tweeters into.  

They went in treat and with the dashboard covers back on they are very discrete in the eyes of prying audio thieving toe- rags

Try Phoenix Gold Tantrum 5.5's, power them with a decent amp and they are excellent. they fit in the door pockets perfectly too, tweeters can be flush mount in the dash position, you will have to fabricate a bracket tho (easy!) they have a separate crossover for each side and are about ?180 but you could prob get them cheaper online.

They should be ok with the head unit and it still gives you scope for upgrade later. they are expensive tho

Ive just fitted the pioneer custom fit speakers in the dash and the emotion range in the door - Great sound - reasonable price and a happy me - and all fits in original places and no one knows what you got behind standard speaker grills!

Oops lost track of this post!

Thanks for all your replies.

I wanted to spend about ?70 and I was hoping for direct replacements, i'm now not sure if my car has tweeters in the dash as standard (the car is at my dads, i'm picking it up tonight )

ducatimad, were the pioneers tweeters or normal full range speakers?

The phoenix gold sound amazing but a bit pricey for me!

Hammy, will check out the pioneers, thanks.

Cheers!
