Main reason for a new set-up is, 1. Wanting bluetooth, phone charging. 2. one the front the OEM speaker is stuffed 3. a boost in sound would be nice, but not amp/sub level (not required)
My car is a Clio 172 phase 2. Has a 6 stacker CD. Set-up might be weird, I'm from Aussie.
Just want to confirm I'm on the right path
Replace HU with : https://www.kenwood.com/au/car/receiver/kmm-bt304/ (cheap and does the job, 65 pound)
Buy a fascia on ebay/aliexpress
Buy stalk control, as per on ebay (says it works on kenwood units)
The above seams easy enough todo. After just re doing the headliner DIY, I want easy . P.S. thank to the forum for getting me this far.
But now I get a bit lost.
Are my speakers 5" or 5.25" (5" are rare as rare hens teeth in Australia)?
Fronts : The housing is really solid (metal). Do I need to get 1 way / midbass units to replace them (once again, rare) or can I just get 2 ways? does getting 2 ways mean I have to hack something with the default tweeters (I don't wanna do that) ?
Backs : The housing is s**t (plastic), I was amazed I wasn't getting reverb and rattles out of them. Any point replacing them, replace with 2 ways or just cut them off. This is a 2 seat car at 99% of time.
Speakers in general: posters recommend Pyle PLG54 (but they are 5", not 5.25", rare again in Aussie and double the price of like for like kenwood/pioneer 2 ways.
Overall budget $300-$400 Aussie (160-220 pound)
Thanks peeps.
