HELP: Will this sound system upgrade fit my Renault Clio mk2 1.2L extreme 3dr 2005?

[Rusty9565]

Hi all I’m looking to upgrade my sound system on my clio, I’ve currently got a pioneer MVH-S420BT stereo with some standard pioneer Clio mm2 upgrade speakers. I’ve got a budget of £300 for a subwoofer, amp + new front door speakers. I’m just wandering if these 3 that I’ve picked up will be compatible with my Clio? And if they will sound good together. I’m no audiophile by any means so if there are any on this forum. Please help!

The amp is to run the front speakers right? Will it work considering you're buying 4?

How many pre-outs does your headunit have?

Don't forget the fitting kit(s) if the amps don't come with all the wires.

as above it will work, assuming you have enough preouts, most modern pioneers have 3 that I've seen.

i would just add the sub and not worry about front components, your going to be taking the low end handling off the front speakers anyway with your sub so will be able to get more volume without distortion than you are currently getting anyway

My head init has 2 pre outs (Front, rear or subwoofer)

Wait so you think it’s pointless me buying the alpine 17cm? Atm I’ve got 13cm clio upgrade pioneer ones. Most likely about the same quality. All I’m wanting to know really is if the 3 components listed above will fit into my car?

Yes.

 

[Rusty9565]

Yes.

Okay thanks man, that juice subwoofer and amp should all fit with the current pioneer components I have right?

As above: If you have the right amount of outputs on the back of the HU then it will run no problem.

How many outputs would I need? My pioneer HU has x 2 RCA

Just one for a subwoofer

 

[Rusty9565]

Just one for a subwoofer

So I don’t need any outputs for the amp? I’m trying to use the amp to power my x 2 front door pioneer speakers. The subwoofer has an amp built in already if that makes sense.

 

[Martin_172]

yes you need an output to the amp then you need to run speaker wire from the amp to your front door speakers

 

[Rusty9565]

yes you need an output to the amp then you need to run speaker wire from the amp to your front door speakers

Okay cool so technically speaking I should be able to run both the amp and the subwoofer off of my current HU (That has x 2 RCA outputs) right?

 

[Martin_172]

yes, its just a lot of hassle to run the front speakers amped as you need to run the speaker wire to the crossover and then run speaker wire to the front door speakers and tweeters up in the top of the dash, for not a lot of benefit!

Are there any standalone front door speakers that you would recommend for my car that would really improve the sound without an amp??

What's the issue with them currently?
