cobblers Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 6x9s won't even nearly fit on the parcel shelf (4" is as big as will go on the standard one, otherwise you can make a custom one) and you need 16.5 or 17cm ones for the front door.You'd be better with a good set of speakers in the front directly off the headunit, and a small 10" sub off a 150/200w rms amp. Would work out cheaper and sound better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would work out cheaper and sound better hi thanks, do you mean if i make a mdf parcel shelf myself then the 6x9's will fit? and im not realy into subs. i just don't think they sound that amazing... But if these 6x9s do fit on a homemade p/shelf then i might do a bit of both and get good door speakers from the head unit and the 6x9s if possible...Never done anything electrical though so might need some help...Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gucciwah Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 6x9's do fit on the shelf if you make one yourselfsunderland off here has that done. it looks pretty neat and tidy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will.i.am Posted August 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Nice one, i'll give it a bash my brother made one for a corsa and made it look pretty tidy so i might have words with him...yeh i think ill just stick to the 6x9s and better door speakers and then maybe an amp depending on how they go...and then ill have to see how much its gonna cost for my alloys to be blasted and re-done in white..You got any tips for that?

I made this for mine:And then carpeted it and it looks stock:Don't know why I bothered though, because I have the thing setup so the rear speakers are so quiet you barely notice them. Waste of a £150 pair of speakers, lol!If you don't like subs, that's fine - a good pair of 6x9s amped up to approx 100w RMS each will be pretty decent. If you do this, amp the front speakers up too or the sound will be dragged to the back and sound rubbish For "normal" stuff I always recommend JBL 6x9s. Really powerful, nice lively sound and cheap at about £50 a pair. You have to spend over double this to get anything that competes IMHO. I have a set of Focal ones that were well over £150 and they aren't a patch on the JBLs for what most people want. Maybe slightly cleaner vocals, but that's no good when it's coming from behind you and bouncing off a rear window! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i can't even think about trying to mess around with the alloys myself!Another point...how easy is lowering? A mechanic i know said that Lupos can be put on their arse and look mint...with no problems or rubbing on 15"...This true at all?Cheers again...

gucciwah Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Ummm well the alloys are in good condition but i just want them spraying white...but i was thinking if im going to get them sprayed i might aswell get them blasted, powder coated and done properly...my brother knows someone who does it like perfect everytime and charges £50 a wheel..This expensive?And the link was good but im not looking to do it myself..I haven't got this car yet!

A mechanic i know said that Lupos can be put on their arse and look mint...with no problems or rubbing on 15"...This true at all?Cheers again...ah ok. i'd say £50 is average. but lowering is easy, you can save alot of money by doing it yourself, mind you have to have the correct equipment. if you know alot of car people you may be able to borrow them?? i dunno my mate has all the stuff so we just spent a day toyin about with my car. i have 15's on my car and its lowered a bit but plannin to go even lower...i still have plenty of room but better double check...should be ok though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
