changing speakers

[Zorba_the_greek]

can anyone help me i am thinking of changing the speakers in my MK2 172 sport.

1)is it hard to do the back ones behind the drivers and passenger seats??????? im not going to do 6x9s

2) do i just need the halfords star screw-drivers or are normal screw drivers?

3) can i upgrade the speakers and keep the renault headunit?? or is there no point?

4) what speakers are good to get (3 way are a must)

If anyone could help or show some pics of their own speakers it would be great THANKS!!!

Nope very easy to get to.

You need a star screwdriver but cant remember what size im afraid.

3) can i upgrade the speakers and keep the renault headunit?? or is there no point?

You can but id reccomend getting a new hu at some point.

4) what speakers are good to get (3 way are a must)

I think 2 ways are better as theyre not as harsh. What sort of budget have you got? BTW Its 13cm or 5 1/4" taht you need.

If anyone could help or show some pics of their own speakers it would be great THANKS!!!

not worked on a new shape clio,but well done on not going for 6x9s!

2) do i just need the halfords star screw-drivers or are normal screw drivers?

i would get the torx bits(the star ones) itll make the job a lot easier!!

3) can i upgrade the speakers and keep the renault headunit?? or is there no point?

you can keep your original h/u but id advise saving a bit of money and getting something decent, especially if you want to add amps etc

4) what speakers are good to get (3 way are a must)

this is a toughy to answer, depends on how far u want to go! you could get coaxial speakers (combined) or componants (seperate) but youll prob need an amp for comps. as for makes, anything decent that you can afford, (not sony!) alpine, focal etc

there has been loads of threads like this, best to do a search!

THANKS SO MUCH GUYS!!!!

your a great help i think i may wait till i get a headunit and do them all together. any cool head units out their for like £300. i really like the pionners i have had 3 of those OEL ones. Just alpine you can connect with the stick and dash screen i have read?

any pics of Mk2 clios with an after marker headunit.

i dont want subs (bit OTT) etc.....................just a really nice sound and bit more bass
