Kirsty87 Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Hi guys I'm a complete audio novice so go easy please. I want to upgrade my sound system in my Lupo 1.0. I'm looking at replacing the front speakers for Rainbow DL-X6s. I'm aware I need to get the adapter ring for them to fit. http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/rainbow-dl-x6-6-5-coaxial-speakers I'm wanting to put the following sub in the boot- Hertz Energy ES 250D.5. http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/hertz-energy-es250d-5 Does anybody have any experience with these? Would you recommend them? If not is there something better out there for similar money? And will this amp be powerful enough to run them? It states it can be ran as a 3 channel system. Hertz HCP 4D http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/hertz-hcp-4d Thanks in advance for in input and advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobieus_uk Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 what radio have you got, amps are generally driven by RCA input (red and white plug), if your radio has these on the back then thats good news, if not you will need somthing like a PC1-601 Line Output Connector from halford that converts speak output form your radio to the required rca standards you need to think about where you are placing your amp. it will need a direct feed from your battery, with the fuse as close to the battery as possible, getting this feed to the amp is about 80% of the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 I wouldn't bother replacing the OEM speakers unless you're getting good quality component stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping to run my amp from the boot. That sounds like some work then! I have a pioneer AVH-280BT https://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product_m-pioneer-avh-280bt_p-33042.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You reckon adding the sub will be enough then? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
