dash advice
« on: 28 September 2005, 13:00 »
ok so ive just been paid so ordered a new amp to power my sub that I can install while I finish off my boot build. I still have a little bit of money left over so i thought i could replace the standard components on my dash, can someone advise me of best set to get for around the £100 mark or a little bit more. Oh and btw its a mk2 incase u couldnt guess that!!?  :grin:

Are you after a set for the dash or doors?

JBL do a great set of direct replacement dash speakers... up to 50W I think. Bugger to replace though, right under the windscreen. Worth it though and keeps the sound forward. Picked mine up on ebay for a lot less than 100! Got my JBL 6x9's for £30 inc postage!

id get some infinity components = 16cm door speaker for the mids and then run the tweeter up to the standard speaker hole in the dash, ull need door pods tho but if u amp them they'll sound pukka. the tweeter will reflect the sound off the windscreen whcih is all good.
