Depends on budget mate

Try to allow for a bit of sound deadening, maybe an amp & wiring kit.

What HU are you running on?

Im going to be using my Fly 800w 4channel. Im looking right now at some but their so cheap :S My front door speakers are 5.25" (13cm)

Im looking at Alpine SXE-1350S, they are 250W and £33.99.

The speakers in the 'um under the air vent' are 10cm but are they worth replacing?

Iv got sound deadening foam left over from a boot instal so ill stick that in my door.

What is HU?

Suppose £75 is my rough budget

My conversations skills vanish at the sight of Fli/Vibe lol

HU - Head Unit (the radio)

I would disable the speakers in your dash. Fit 13cm components and use the tweeters from them instead.

That foam stuff isn't really any good to be honest, better using some sheeting as well mate

Well not sure what head unit yet, my Birthday is soon so my misses says she may buy me one. I do currently own a nice Pioneer one...Um DEH 80MP i think it is, but the wirering is over the top so i need to get it to a pro to be fitted really, at the moment i just have a JVC Hallfords jobby but its not what will be running the speakers!

And as for a sub, ive got one Kenwood 12" and am gonna get another but not to bothered about them, the one iv got is fine for a wopping £44!

So what is a good 13cm speaker to go for that is around £100 tops as £75 budget doesnt really give me much range on quality.

Many thanks, Sam

Anyone?

 

[hazzel_frazzel]

Not heard of juice before mate, so can't really comment. Don't look too hot, but I can't really tell without experiencing them

how about these

 

[sambo_clio_rsi]

how about these

They are only 50w rms though....am i wrong in more watts = more power = more bass and sound?

Im after something that has a nice bass kick to it...but i am new to components, im just used to 500w rms subs and 6x9s....

 

[MT AUDIO]

if you aint amping it dont matter if its 50wrms or 150000wrms itll sound no better

I am amping them, with my Fly 800 4 chan as my 2nd post says :S

 

[MT AUDIO]

your fli amp will give no more than 50wrms per channel

They look good, so i can run them with my head unit and not worry about amping them yeah?

 

[Daniel]

You can, but they are top end speakers, not shitty ones, so the more powerful the amp, the better they will sound.

If you have a decent Headunit, then they should still sound good. You can put the tweeters in the factory place too.

 

[sambo_clio_rsi]

Ay? Sure its not 200w per channel? 200 x 4 = the 800W

 

[Dink]

trust me that will not be RMS

is it a Loaded 800s?

Ok, will have a think on that one cheers

 

[Dink]

so it's 4 x 100w RMS @ 4 ohms

 

[sambo_clio_rsi]

so it's 4 x 100w RMS @ 4 ohms

How you know that? But if thats the case were is the other 400watts? Confusing! lol

 

[Chris_Cliomk1]

The vibe components are supposed to be pretty good, the kevlar looking ones.

As for the fli amp, id chuck it in the bin an start again cause anything fli is not worth having lol.

RMS is the only figure to look at as is the only one thats right

Bite the mans arm off, they're great components.

Youll need them amp but the amp youve got will be fine, the 800w figure is the 'maz' figure and not the 'rms' figure

6 and a half inch though, so won't fit straight in a clio. You'll need to fabricate custom builds to house them

yeah thats true! Mine are about 6 - 6.25 inches as standard :S

A Fli & Focal setup haha! :rasp:
Sorry!

As said, Focal speakers are some seriously good gear.
Also as above - Fli & the likes are more of the "do rightly" brands
