Best choice - Replacement door speakers Base system

355890 · 03-12-2009, 12:37 AM

What is the best choice for replacement door speakers?

Does one need to really change the tweeters on the dash for the base system set-up or will the stock ones do the trick?

Headunit will also be changed out. Pioneer AVIC 700bt or 900bt...not really sure of the difference....but learning slowly.

Probably would like a small amp to power the new door speakers as well.

Small cabin shouldn't need much more to improve base system, YES?

Thanks.

I just installed the Focal Polyglass series 165 v1. They sound phenomenal. I am just running them from the head unit and they are some of the best speaker I've ever heard.

I took a dremel to the old woofer supports and the new woofers fit in there perfectly. I did the same for the tweeters up in the dash.

Got them for $224 off ebay...kinda pricey...but hey, it is a $32k car.

Yep ! I agree.

Do you think there is a need for a subwoofer in the back?

Or does this set-up ( 2 speaker amd 2 tweeters ) suffice. I also plan on hooking up to an amp and then powered by and planning on the Pioneer Avic 900bt headunit.

I think a sub would compliment the sound nicely. I didn't get one because of funds and I din't see anything I liked yet. Maybe down the road. It sould hella good with just the doors and tweeters...10x better than stock...but I'm not really an audiophile.

Nor am I....I just like some nice clean sound.

I am sold on the speakers though.

Did you get an external amp to power them????

Nah, just straight from the head unit. I may do that in the future if the urge strikes me.
