FLI Speakers? any good
« on: 06 February 2008, 17:34 »
So i was wating for paint to be mixed at halfords and got chattin about 17cm speakers to replace in my GTI. And he recommended FLY for speakers, he reckoned they were as good as JBL for sound without being amped up.

Anyone got any?

yeah maybe FLI then, either way he reckoned they were the balls? And they have low profile fronts unlike a lot of 16.5cm speakers?

Any recommendations for 16.5 speakers for my front back of my mk3?

I have a fli 17cm setup in mine. they are the bees. handle evrything iv thrown at them.

not too much tweet either.

The 17cm are 100watt rms so you would be best amping them anyway as your HU will only give them about 18 - 25watts rms.

Cheers, maybe they are the way forward. Will have to post up a thread when i have them, on the best way to amp them all, as im not very good with amping audio etc etc.

If you do amp them you should be looking for an amp that has least 100watt RMS x2 @4ohms (x4) if you plan on running 2 sets.

all depends on how crisp and loud you want your system to be.. they are called budget for a reason, but sayin that i had some 13s in my old pug and they ruled, did handle really well.

Not bothered on price TBH, But the fact is, the better sounding ones, looks so chavy and worse, i want some low profile ish ones, that dont stand out, but preform!
