Speaker upgrade
As the title says I've done a simple speaker upgrade. After watching AnubisZed video on his speaker upgrade I thought its worth trying it as my standard 6 speaker system was crap.
So after using his links to which speakers to get from Aliexpress I placed my order which also included a pair of tweeters which my car hadn't got. Speakers arrived yesterday so thought I get them swapped over today. Nice esay job and the sound difference is loads better for not alot of money. New tweeters as mine had none New mid is the one on the left, Bang Olufsen copies

Did you say you didn’t have tweeters before? The ones next the side mirrors?
I’ve done a similar upgrade and added the mids to the doors. Might do the larger ones in the footwell at some point

Yes that's right, no tweeters before but if you buy them they are just plug and play as they plug into the door speakers.
I changed the mids in the doors and the ones behind under top seat belt mounts

I've just been on the link and it maybe looks like they don't have any more in stock. I'll get part numbers off my boxes tonight and see if I can find them from another supplier in thereflybobbie wrote: ↑Mon Apr 25, 2022 10:01 amForgot to look there, thanks.Jollyjoiner wrote: ↑Mon Apr 25, 2022 9:09 amIf you click the previous link to his YouTube page then the links to the correct speakers are on there in his description

Hmmmmmm,
I’m having new door cards fitted on Thursday, and this has made me think last minute again
What speakers would you recommend that I can buy online but will be here preferably Wednesday.
Will I really notice any difference changing just the door speakers. Updating everything is on the to do list
TIA
