Title: Speakers.....
Post by: joesgti on June 01, 2009, 10:43:28 am
Im looking at getting some new decent speakers all round, what have other people gone with? what sizes are needed? People running them from an amp or just from the HU,

i usually go with alpine type R's, what else can people recomend? oh and i dont want to blow the pay check for the month  :signLOL:

I have Hertz "hi energy speakers in mine, the fronts powered by an Audison amp.

Very good sound quality. Not sure how much you want to spend though Joe?

No your not, me too  :happy2:

Not into the 'Bass'. Its more about clarity for me and I think the standard speakers do a reasonably good job and cant justify the hassle and money to upgrade.

Plus its rare that im on my own in the car and play the music as loud as possible.

Good luck with removing the standard speakers though.
