Best Cheapish speakers?

[BIFCAIDS]

Can anybody inform me of some Decent cheapish speakers i can use with my factory headunit. also i was debating having 6 speakers rather than 4, reason being is i noticed (whilst in the boot) that there is speaker grills but no speakers either side of the parcel shelf so i was woundering if you can/could possibly put speakers behind them.

Youll gain nothing from adding more speakers and ur headunit only has 4 speaker outputs.
Just replace the fronts with coaxials in the doors imo. Pioneer TSE range are a good buy with reasonable sound quality and a fairly cheap upgrade.

Sorry^, but do not replace your front componant speakers with co-axials, the trebble will cut your head off. The have effectivly been crossed over already so it mainly sends bass to them. Definatly replace the font speakers with either 5.25 or 6.5(with a bit of cutting) nice componants (JBL/pioneer/alpine - most are worth almost nothing on ebay). If you can be bothered do the tweeters in the dash too but with the standard unit you will notices almost no difference. Also the magnets in the rear co-axials are rediculously small. Any new 5.25" co-axials sound alot better. I recomend you then set up the head unit bass +6/7, treble +5, LEFT/RIGHT 9/8 and FRONT/REAR 8/9, that works for me anyway.

Definatly don't add more speakers for the reason said above. They are not actually grills, I thought that too but they are just for venting the air blast from when you slam the boot, there are two similar vents behind the rear bumper.

ive got a alpine headunit and type R sub and v12 amp in my bed room collecting dust, good kit (132db) but i like the fact that the dash looks totaly stock and head units dont seem to fit right in clio's if you get what i mean, so what your saying is unless i put my alpine headunit in its dead money

 

[MT AUDIO]

you need to amp it to use all 6 speakers,you can use with the factory unit but it isnt the best

 

[BIFCAIDS]

ill stick with my standard paper bad boys then, spend the money else where

replaced my front door speakers at the weekend, (one was blown) changed them for Alpine ones I picked up at my local Motorworld, they were £25 i think, and they're great, big improvement.

oh, and im using the standard headunit btw

[BIFCAIDS]

The front end will be a lot less bright with coaxials. Why will it cut your head off. I run JL audio C5 coaxials in my clio and sounds absolutely perfect.
Think you need educating my friend!!!!!

You disconnect the dash tweeters obviously. There is no crossover which filters high frequencies from the front door.
Coaxial speakers work better in the clios original location.
Do not turn the bass control up on the headunit as this will just cause clipping of the original amplifier in the headunit!

 

[clioalesi]

I just changed my front speakers with some alpine sps2c3 I bought off a mate.
I obviously now have 4 tweeters.
How does one disconnect the dash tweeters? Should I just remove the tweeters from the dash.

cheers

 

[Gardus]

I don't get it, why fitting some coaxials when changing the tweeter is not that hard?
I fitted a 2 way Coral kit, with the crossovers behind the instruments, i had to remove the dash of course, but it's a clean job.
The woofer are 165 mm so i had to cut a lot of plastic, drill the metal and fit wood spacers, plus some soundproofing on the doors...
With a Panasonic 50x4 head unit I'm pleased, even with a loud exhaust I can leave it at 20~26/40 without distortion and nice lows.
At the rear I have a wood shelf covered in vynil with two oval 3 ways speaker, it's removable and costed me almost nothing, it helps a lot with low frequency and "surrounding" sound, even if I have the balance more at the front.
