Clio 02 Speaker Upgrade

[jessica_laurie]

Hey all,

I've just spent the last hour reading through 25 pages of the ICE section..
unfortunatly all the information has confused me

Basically I have bought a new Pioneer HU.
Already got a sub and amp in the boot..

I want to upgrade the speakers in the car. Do I have components or coaxials in the front speakers? and what about the rear ones?

I am not fussed about upgrading the rear speakers, as most of you have said it is pointless. My car is a 2002 Clio Extreme.

Hope you can help me here!

I'm looking for the same!!

Do you want to upgrade the front and rear DOOR speakers?

 

[jessica_laurie]

Mines a 3 door..

I want to upgrade the front ones.. but are they components or coaxials? and how do you amp them? I am totally blonde when it comes to stuff like this guys.......

 

[veaney]

i shouldn't think you need to amp them. they are component ones in the front IIRC. Like these..

This is what im looking at, at the moment. When you take the front speakers off there is a white clip that clips into the speakers that will clip out of the old ones, and clip into the new ones.

should i be looking at something like this for the front speakers??

I know that in the sport models there is Components in the front 5.25 in (13cms) and coax of the same size in the back

 

[jessica_laurie]

well, I have an Clio Extreme.. so what do I have?

 

[veaney]

Not a sport

 

[jessica_laurie]

yeah.. i knew that.

i meant the speakers? lol

 

[veaney]

lol most speakers tell you whats compatable with your car.

any 13cm comps wil fit in the front

 

[Galzzly]

You have the same 13cm speakers as in the sport.

Do you know how much you want to spend on the speakers?

 

[jessica_laurie]

I'm trying to stay with JBL..

what about these? yes i know they are coaxials.

[Galzzly]

If you really want to stick to JBL go for components rather than coaxials.

Here's a list from caraudiosecurity.

The top two are similar spec to the one that you linked to, apart from they have a higher RMS Wattage.

What Pioneer HU do you have? And what amp is running the sub?

If you dont want to modify your doors/fabricate door pods buy these:

Or if you do, you'll get more mid-bass with these. For £5 extra it's a no brainer.

Either way, amp them.

 

[jessica_laurie]

I have ordered this HU..

and got this amp..

Good stuff!

So that amp will be powering the sub? If that's the case, get this with the above speakers I mentioned:

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/130988

Will be an awesome budget set-up.

 

[jessica_laurie]

Sorry confused.. that amp you just posted up, is the one I have got.. along with the Pioneer HU

 

[Galzzly]

You're going to need a second amp. As the one that you have is a 2 channel - which will run the sub that you have.

You will need the second 2 channel amp for the component speakers.

Indeed.

I asked what headunit you had so I could check that you had more than one pre-out (you do) and I asked about the amp to check if it was more than two channels (it doesn't).

 

[Tigger]

13cm Components and a second amp to run them if you can afford it.

Have the 2channel amp "bridged" so that both channels are combined to power your sub.

The standard rear speakers are fine, the HU will run them as normal for rear fill.
