Title: 6 x 4's
Post by: [han] 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 Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£1, and Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£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...

Post by: rubjonny on 31 October 2006, 17:36: 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:
