jim8 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Hi, I'm looking to replace my front door speakers as mine seem to have had their day. Firstly what size are they? and can anybody recommend a good cheapish pair around the £40 mark.Cheers Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eug666 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I replaced mine with a set of Alpines around £40, similar price in Halfords. I think they are 16.5cm and fit perfect with a spacer ring. Quality is better than standard and worth the coin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim8 Posted March 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Thanks for that, The standards are crap, think i might replace the tweeters at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livmarshall17 Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Mine have had it too, I get a annoying buzzing noise on the drivers door. Ive been looking at halfords and found a pair of FLI speakers for about 40 quid but still deciding as not heard much about them. My friend used to fit speakers & subs etc and he told me to avoid ripspeed (halfords own brand) as he says from the ones hes seen its a bit cheap and not very good quality.

treblet Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Spend a bit more money and go for some decent speakers such as Focal or Infinity.You won't regret it if you like your music louder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what both mine are doing, thought it might be the panel that was loose but seems not as i tryed it without and still the same.think i'm going to run some wires to the rear panels as well as i've taken them off for a look and both can be fitted with 6.5" speakers and a tweeter too. should be fairly easy to do.Also if your buying anything from Halfords make sure you reserve it online to pickup in store as you can save alot of your hard earned cash, I just saved £15 on the in store price for my head unit.

Not really into making my eardrums bleed so don't need to go spending silly money, as i'm sure a good quality £40 speaker will produce very good sound.But thanks for the heads up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(to try and drown out the buzzing noise)Oooh right, thanks for that. i will do that in future as got a halfords quite local to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) im considering new door speakers next, Mine have gotten a bit of a pasting and yeah its not good. there not broke but they buzz like mad. Are there any like wiring harnesses available so you don't cut the Standard connector? And what size speaker is good to get and what kinda spacers?Are there also any other better places to look than halfrauds?

Charlies Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Firstly stay away from halfrauds. Simple mdf spacers made up or brought from egay. 18mm deep sufficient for most speakers. Would recommend running 2-way components rather thank coxials. Especially as standard set up is 2-way components.£40 will get you crap. Budget should be double to triple that as a bare minimum. Otherwise your'll end up with worse than standard lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connermad Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 I've recently bought new speakers for my arosa dont know if its the same for a 6H2 but they are 17 cm i got pioneers off ebay for about £50 including spacers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanncfc Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Ive currently got some alpines in my lupo. They are a lot better than the standard ones and fitted fine with some mdf rings. Having said that i just like music and wanted better than standard so they may not be the best. As treblet has said pay more and get better ones mine were half price at £50 when i got them. My mate had some £40 fli jobbies and they were awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
