Can anyone recommend decent replacement front & rear speakers. Got to be a direct replacement as I don't wana start cutting out door cards. Cheers.

I've just bought some JBLs 4x6 for the rear and vibe 6 1/2" for the front. The vibes are a bit bigger but they still fit behind the door card. Sounds good now.

I run with the Bass Face SPL range. Kick ass speakers imho. Wish I'd bought the component type instead.

Don't let the low price mislead you...

Are Vibe actually any good though?

 

I'm considering using JL rears that change 6x4 into 4" speakers, I've heard that 6x4's are crap?

 

I know a bit about brands and basics but don't have a clue about speaker sizes, ohms etc

Locate and fit some Bose enclosures, i fitted these with JL Audio C3650 In the rear and 525 in the fronts with front tweeters mounted into the sail panel. The enclosures make a world of difference. Easy to fit.

Where can you find base enclosures mate? Does any company do copies, would have thought originals get scene tax?

Sometimes the Bose enclosures surface on ebay. I got a full set for £30. just keep trying all the usual places for parts.

Yeah I'll keep a look out. I think they convert to a 4" speaker so if I can't find none ill grab the Jl's that come with the speaker plate. Should be getting some jl fronts off a member so i should be sorted with a decent set-up. Hu is a alpine 9815r with a decent built in amp so it should give me enough bass co sidering the z's layout without going overboard, I'm not going to get amps/subs with the boot space as limited as it is tbh, horses for courses and all that.

I've just bought some rear bose enclosures, do they still take the same size speakers?

The early enclosures will take a 6.5" driver with a fairly large magnet like the jl audio c3650 that i have, the later enclosures had a smaller driver i believe.

OK so I'll have to wait till I receive the enclosures before I know what will fit.

The later ones take a 4" speaker, that's why I'm probably gonna go with the 4" jls with 4x6 plate if I can't find any

Rears are 6x4 - pretty common size, I believe.

 

Fronts - I can't remember, but there direct replacements that require no cutting or fettling. Just be sure that they are not too deep...:wink:

 

I bought a set of Hertz speakers to replace the OEM fronts and JBL rears. They were not as cheap as some brands, but I am pretty happy with them. The rears are certainly better than the JBLs :cool:

Not sure about that - I had a hard time finding speakers in that size.

I've gone with 4" rears with a 6x4 adapter plate.

 

6x4 hardly had any choice and aren't a very good size for base from what I've read recently due to looking for some.

From what I've seen there's not much choice for rear speaker. I've got the fronts & a new dab stereo.
