My front car speakers are blown, so I'm in need of some new ones, I've had a search around online and apparently pioneer are a good brand for car speakers. Has anyone got suggestions on what speakers I should get / best sound quality for money?
Price range - up to £80
Cheers, Mo

Standard ones have been perfect for me if you set up an aftermarket head unit correctly.
Helps to have a sub too :laugh:
-
jvc sony are good
-
Ha, I would be fine with keeping the originals in, it's just the fact that they vibrate like mad when there is the littlest amount of bass in a song.
Also, I haven't heard to many good things about Sony, apparently they've gone downhill a bit
-
Eally you should have it set up so only mid and high goes through the door speakers. Leave the bass for the sub. Just set up wrong if its like that. And will not be massively different with better speakers
-
I don't have a sub and the standard speakers are plenty bassy enough if you have a decent headunit
-
It isn't a bass'y set up that is the problem, the speakers can't handle any bass, they just make a vibrating noise (pretty sure they are both blown), so they need to be replaced either way.
-
If they have been abused then the voice coil would have ripped the speaker..
Usually they are paper in a lot of cars so presume these are too. Will sound like flicking paper vibrating noise instead of bass if thats the case
Any aftermarket ones would be stronger than standard but might not sound noticably different

i agree with this, mine are standard speakers but with a pioneer headunit i get a pretty decent sound, if id upgrade id maybe try get hold of some of the bose speakers from audi's? probably expensive

I think that's about right, there is definitely something wrong somewhere

kenwood light weight ones are the best there so light its a joke ,ill try and find them on ebay as it was years ago i had them until they got robbed from my car :angry:

Mine had no cage and a twetter in the middle of the speaker.

Those are a bit too dear for my liking!
And those light weight speakers are in Australia haha
-
Standard speakers are pretty good with a decent H/U
JL Audio and Focal used be pretty good but I'm way behind on ICE these days lol

Its a sign of age mate, I have it too now, when you think an S2000 filter is too noisy and it drives you insane to the point you go back to standard airbox and a panel filter :grin:
-
I got my speakers changed yesterday, and it turns out that it was the tweeters that had blown, not the actual speakers, so I suggest that anyone that faces the same problem as me, tries replacing the tweeters first, because it looks like it's all 4 tweeters that has blown, not just the 2.
-
Tweeters are speakers :whistle:
-
haha, yeah i know, but what i meant was not the big speakers.
