speaker upgrade advice wanted
Has anyone on here upgraded there speakers at all ?,
I have a sony mask head unit and I have some nice JBL 360 gt 6x9's in the rear shelf powered by an amp
can anyone suggest suitable speakers for the front door panels and tweeters for the dash vents ?
which aftermarket makes would you recommend or avoid ?
and what about the rear pillar speakers , how hard are they to remove /replace and any recomendations as to what I should use .
I want sound quality more than volume and moneys not really an issue within reason
should I replace the wiring ( well in the front at least )
please help an old man preserve his hearing

whats wrong with the quality? i mean without wanting to spoil the view, you have 6x9's fitted meaning your already over the capacity of the internal volume of the car (regardless of AMP power of receptor base volume (the big caps under the speakers in the rear shelf which you obviously have??))!
To be honest, the system in the 16v is VERY good, i would only consider replacing standard components with Infinity (kappa) or clarion speakers and i would expect to pay big bucks! This is from someone with a limited knowledge on volume calculation but who listens to most 'choons' through a set of very old B+O speakers. I love the almost default BX setup and only introduce low power 6x9's by way of fill when there is no one in the rear!
IMPORTANT question, pop off the front speaker grills and what sort of cone is behind? PS don't believe the Halfords crew who will tell you the standard system is crap, it is VERY well setup, most things are in VERY good positions.

I've got 6x9's in the parcel shelf and Tornado's in the doors.
Sounds great!
The tweeters in the dash are ok for high end stuff but their ability to cope with volume is EXTREMLEY limited.
The shite speakers in the C pillars aint worth a wank and the best thing you could possibly do with them is unplug and forget.
My TD has standard door speakers and a bass bin (old skool) in the boot, sounds ok, but I prefer the 6x9's.

ok, I had a little play around with the settings on the head unit and have now got a much better sound out of the standard speakers .
also found the two screws that hold the door panel on by the drivers side front speaker were loose which was probably the cause of the crackling noise I had been getting
