DanBradley Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 HiStart off with im brand new to all different types of audio, just to warn you, I have a standard lupo 1.0e and i want to sort the interior out first as i think im going to have this car a while. Im just wondering what speakers would be good, the front speakers are fine, its the back i want to sort out and as you know a lupo isnt a spacey car so the boot isnt huge! Im not wanting to go mad on them aswell so im tending to keep within a budget. thanksDan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfbr Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Don't bother with rear speakers.Just upgrade to some good front component speakers and a small amp to power them. It's all you really need in a lupo.It'll sound crap if you start putting 6x9's on the shelf and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99hjhm Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Just go down Halfords and fit some 6x9's in the parcel shelf like. Do some wicked amps and stuff too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomjw Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Try Car Audio Direct. Got some Inphase speakers on there for £20 reduced from £99! Easy fitment, great sound! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
To0m123 Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 what size speakers will fit in the parcel shelf though because 6 by 9's are too big? just front speakers with a sub isn't good enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treblet Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 just front speakers with a sub isn't good enough!Yes it is!6x9's will sound terrible, upgrade the components in the front doors and get an amp to power them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 what size speakers will fit in the parcel shelf though because 6 by 9's are too big? just front speakers with a sub isn't good enough!WRONG.I have a VW Bora which is a much bigger car than a lupo and even that sounds better with the rear speakers switched off.There's no point putting speakers in the rear as it just ruins the sound stage and the imaging!

Deadmetal Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 I just have front coax speakers in the front, they're plenty good enough. Make the doors vibrate and the wing mirrors rattle when I turn them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEW2LUPO Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 (edited) Anything id need to go with them? or is it just the speakers? To go with the speaker you will need adapters , any place that sell's speaker for cars will be able to get them for you , you can also get wire adapters that plug into the original wires from the stereo , you can upgrade to a amp later , and if you sell the car later you can then put the original speakers back in .

marcusgrant Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 make your own adaptors out of MDF rings, these are available from ebay, 6.5" in size. sound deadening is a must. amping them up is a great idea, even if its only a cheapish amp.
