Right i have a mk2 golf. Currently i have a sony mini-disk player with upgraded 4*6 in the back. I am after fitting some speakers in the front door pods and some tweeters in the dash area. Are components speakers with tweeters??? and if so which should i go for?? I have a small budget Cheers Edited by: Trev16v
hello, yip u r right, component sets come as seperate speakers, so... a 2way comp set has a midbass/midrange speaker and a tweeter. a 3way comp set has a midbass speaker, a midrange speaker, and a tweeter. usually 3ways are much higher in price. which type of music do u like to listen to and how much do u have to spend?
Erm 60 i dont really know not over a 100, erm listen to a range of music stuff like coldplay, pink floyd. Cheers P.s do the componants have just 2 wires for each?
you usually run the2 wires from the amp/stereo to a cross over..that then splits the sound/wires off onto the mid and tweeter...your not going to get much for60..try e bay?
What size will fit into the standard door pods? and how much do i need to spend to get some half decent ones? Cheers
5 1/4 and the the tweeter under the dash cover....150+ i run 5 1/4 in my 16v and 6 1/2 in the g60..if your handy with a bit mdf and fibre glass its easy to do and it sounds ALOT better
150 jesus dont wanna spend that much (not wanting amazing stuff just better than the upgraded dash spekers i have). How about these? http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id =2777 Cheers
here... (Edit:still doesn't work, but they are mac components or something) but you really need an amp to get any good out of components so I think you'd be better just getting a set of 5 1/4" for the door pods, rather than wasting money on crap components Edited by: diggerbucket
hello mate, in my opinion i wouldnt get coaxials.. these are pretty good for the money, very smooth & warm sounding. CLICK ME! are you happy with the price? they are a bit over your budget by worth it in my opinion. Also later when u get an amp, u wont have to upgrade the speakers again. Edited by: onnie
erm bit pricey mate really they look the dogs boll*x not really after that. Thanx for the help though. Any ideas on a bit cheeper stuff.

These any gud? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3054967 610&category=3292 Thanx alot guys
ok these will be good for the money CLICK ME! please for christs sake dont buy any sony or kenwood comps, pioneers are ok but they are very bright sounding and will get on your t1ts after a while. hope this helps?
yeah it will be fine off your HU. if your HU has a built in highpass filter (check ur manual out) make sure you activate it and set it to AT LEAST 80hz. it will block out the low bass notes so they dont damage the mids when you get a bit too enthusiastic with the volume knob
And if it hasnt got a highpass filter? amd also what is the block thing in the picture (on last link)
just use your common sense, dont blast ur system, makin em distort like hell and expect them to last for long.. dont use bassboost and loudness and all that crap either, imo that just ruins the sound, and will make your HU clip alot more easier as well. the block thing in the pic is the xover, it should be in the tweeters speaker wire and it stops the tweeter playing bassnotes which will kill your tweet in no time.
