Standard replacement recommendations?
« on: 25 December 2007, 21:08 »
Ok i drive a 3door Mk3 Gti, my nan got me a halfords voucher at xmas and i dont really want anything, so i thought i will replace the speakers in my car as they are just not that great, standard, poor bass and just not a good sound. What sizes are the front door speakers, and the rear seat ones? Any reccomendations on speakers. In my last car i had some sony 6X9's which i stil have, but i dont want them cut in the boot, just want to replace the 4 standard ones.

Any ideas greatfully recieved.

Mike

my mk3 golf gti takes 16.5cm/17cm speakers front and back.
i'm not sure if theyv bin changed before me having the car but they sound realy good for clarity but i'm just lacking on the bass and so have been tempted to get a small subwoofer on the go!
you also have tweeters front and back too....so you could get yourself 2 sets of component speakers but not necessary as the tweeters should b ok to run as they are and its extra work for you to access em but if that doesnt bother you...then go for it!
Why pay big bucks when you can do it yourself???

16.5 17cm Speakers front and back, cheers, i wil give them a go. Probbaly wont change the tweeters at the moment. Not really bothered by them. Just want some better sound. Not to much bass that im pumping like a saxo. Just nicer :D
