Pioneer TS Q131C or other Panasonic 13cm component speakers?

[jamesbeaumont]

Hello everyone. Just a quick question for those in the know with clio speaker replacement. I know the Pioneer TS Q131C (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pioneer-T...8?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item5667a477ba) is the straight swap speaker of choice however what is the difference fitment wise between these and another Panasonic 13cm component such as these - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pioneer-T...4?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item566668323e :dapprove:

the mounts in which the components will probley need cutting, the ts-q131c are like the originals and just fit in to place

and the only other difference is that you will need the cut of the connectors of the wires the fit spade connectors.

but you can buy these and theres no need for cutting

Thanks Matt. The other speakers seem a lot cheaper for similar if not better performance? Surely worth the hassle?

It looks like you're mostly paying for the convenience with the custom-fit (yellow cone) ones. Unless you're going to start running big amplifiers, signal processors and such, I can't imagine there'd be a massive difference between them.

Exactly my thoughts. The tweeters won't fit in the standard spaces but they should be a big improvement. Just need to remove the dash!

in that case taking the top of the dash is like a 10min job
