mpg - the more the merrier
first thing im doin is getting the speakers - focal all round
a focal 11" sub is costing about 200 with a 2chnl amp, fitted.
il get the speakers first - see how they go, i might be happy enough with those alone
im not gettin the sub for now - just going to replace the speakers
dont worry - il not be getting the 6x9s - wat thieves dnt know is there wont harm them
not sure on amps either - more electrics draining power from the battery :(
dont like that idea - plus the weight. kills the fun a...

will the origional rear speakers be ok to fade the sound into the back using the h/u ?
i like fading some music to the back for the "theater" effect on my h/u.
or would i need better coaxils in the rear for this?
i walked into that 1 :p
good point on security though
im thinking of getting a vibe sub with built in amp and a set of good comps for front now.
not sure on an amp for the speakers.
can i replace the origional rear spkers with sumfin better?
anyone ever heard of speakers made by Focal ?
went to Audio Advice today - set of Focal comps for the front - awesome sound! (cost 220 fitted with sound deadening in the doors) THIS GOOD?
was told if im puttin in a sub that its better idea to put money into better fronts than pay the money...
i dont know much bout the stats
i was going by looks mor than anything - i can find out tho

all sounds good Rorrie
my budget would be prob around 650-750 all in
was going to just change the front speakers and get 6x9s put in to start off with maybe.
wat the difference in 2way, 3way and 4way spkers?
i go for component or coaxil for fronts?
that jvc amp i was looking at in my...
what do i look for to compare the quality of amps, subs and speakers?
I dont know my arse from my elbow when it comes to the technical end of it so any hints are valuable.
thanks in advance
Il take a look Audio one I want the grill anyways Brun
EvilJohn - you have the sub box with the grill over it - looks cool, seen one in my local audio store.
Ive had experiences with sony music equipment before - they make "nice looking" stuff but you can get better quality...
Just wondering what everyone has installed in their boot...
Im running around the country getting advice and prices of a speaker system for my JVC h/u

is it possible that 17s give better fuel economy?

I was in wales last year - went to climb Mt Snowdon with a m8.

Wales looks like it has its roads laid down like a red carpet for the clio to play on :cool: ;)

it was just a shiny blue 1 - it took bout an hour to finally stick to the window:@ faded in the sun after just 2 months - and thats in Irish weather :cool:

hows life behind the wheel every1 ?
I was in asking bout my alloys today, they have the style i want in 17, but i ws looking 16" after i was talked out of 17s. Now swaying toward 17s again.
