peteo Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Hey... I'm after upgrading my door speakers. Wondering what the max size is and also max mounting depth?..Is it a pain to change the dash mounted tweeters? How would you go about this? (also their size and mounting depth, if anybody knows!)?..Also im open for suggestions as to what to replace them with... Anything about £70 i'd be happy with...CheersPete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little rich Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 6.5" or 17cm speakers,for mounting you will have to make up some mdf rings to space the speakers out from the door so the magnet doesnt hit the glass, can get some fair sized speakers behind, with a 70 quid budget you'l be fine and yes you can change the tweeters pretty easy, just never look as good as the oem ones!Rich.

peteo Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 if they can fit in then i may be in luck. have some 200W RMS component audiobahns that ive got sitting around. bought them for my old 306 but never fitted them. might have a look at them!...Gonna be looking for new head unit too. Was gonna get one of those sat nav units from the toureg, but changed my mind as security would be an issue. Any decent VW factory head unit people could recommend? Which can handle decent speakers. Price isnt really an issue.This is my first vw so not really up on the kit available... So appreciate all the help...Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucknall28 Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 These are good Head units and pretty oem, Pete id buy a pioneer or alpine if your going for an aftermarked HU, not sure about VW factory units that you could upgrade too, im sure there are a few,http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/pioneer-fh-p80bt.htmlAlso do you have a link to the components? P.S this is little rich,Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pro3mark Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 I had my Rainbows in with about an inch of MDF, why were close to the window but MILES from the grill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
