It's always good to upgrade the stock speakers. Im not exactly sure on the size of your front speakers. Do a search and you might be able to find something....

[Honda_Pda]

what were you planning to change the front speakers to?
have you thought of anything?
an upgrade would be good depending on what you plan to put in...
= )

[MIRZ]

nothing particular in my mind, but just thinking after i opened my car door yesterday, and looked at that old stock speaker in it. looks bit rusty , LOL.

[Tu88y]

If your speakers aint busted then there is no need to change it (only if your happy with the sound your getting from them)..

[clikz]

If you've got a lil bit to spend think about some splits...but I guess they always sound better with an amplifier, but atm Im running my splits off deck (50wx4) and it made a huge difference in terms of clarity!

[J-MuN]

best to change factory speakers :) especially if u have aftermarket headunit. if u want better sound

and more power, go change ur front speakers and get an amplifier to power your speakers. :thumbsup:

If your looking for sound quality, definently amp the splits in the future :thumbsup:

front speakers are by far the most important speakers of any sound system.
rear speakers are least important.

higher quality front speakers (preferbably running of at least a small amp) and a 12 inch sub is more than enough for good SQ.

There are 6" (or maybe 6.5") splits from factory in the vti, i think the exi has a different setup though.

If you change them to better speakers then you will only gain decent benefit after you amp them.

You could just swap them for a better pair of coaxials for a cheap solution.

yeh... splits, a sub n an amp would produce good quality sound with a little bass to it... = )

its always better to change the stock to splits system, some Focal Access its good to run w/ the original amp of the H/U
and if you need focal or boston speaker please PM i might be able to help you

my current stock front speakers are not damaged, they are fine. i was jsut thinking if i can put some better speakers, will that give me difference in sound quality?

i rekon size is 6.5" for speakers, i even dont whether they Have tweeters in them or not, lol.

i m very very bad with this all stuff. how much amp will cost me.

aka_NSX just sent you a PM.

I checked redbook and it says the exi has a 4 speaker system (2 front, 2 rear) so you dont have splits at the moment.

Replacement speakers will sound better - thats their job! Half decent coaxials will start at around $200 and entry level splits from reputable brands (Boston, Focal, Hertz etc) will start at about the $300 mark.

Coaxials having the main woofer with the tweeter inside.

Splits have a seperate woofer and tweeter and have a crossover.

Splits will offer better sound quality!

If you add and amp, this would cost you about $200 but depends on brand, output etc. It's best to start with a budget and then chose products from there, but if you are serioud then it will cost quite a lot. If you are after a quick solution then you might be happy with some cheapish coaxials to replace the stock ones.

[aka_NSX]

Focal splits start from $299 to $4649 Utopia Be

[MIRZ]

whats the function of crossover ?

[aka_NSX]

whats the function of crossover ?

xover is to split between the Hi Freq and the Low Freq, so the Tweeter wont get a Low freq and also the woofer wont get the Hi Freq, so the speaker will perform better sound

[phantom_civic]

yeah.. definately...
changing the front stock speakers would help the sounds in your car heaps...
include a sub and amplifier... maybe 6x9s at the bak... sound system shud b complete...

[mugeneration]

I didnt bother replacing my front speakers, and i had a sub and 6x9s installed with an amp. Thing is i tried just listening to the front speakers the other day and they are so shot from being up so loud that you can barely hear them with the engine off. So replace the front speakers if you're going to be doing anything, so when you go to sell your car you have normal speakers which work to put in, unlike me, ill have to fish out a hundred or so for sum new ones to replace em with (coz im not selling my new ones!)

[ITRBoI]

its better to change the front speaker if you have an aftermarket HU, go for splits if you have the $$$ but a decent pair of two-ways will do the tricks too, but not as good as splits though, all depends on where you want to take your system too....ie:-quality, clarity, SPL???

[chan]

definately unless u upgrade to something crapper. :) front speakers r the most critial component in a system. to get the most out of ur new speakers, sound deaden the doors and seal the service holes. that is definately a night and day upgrade.

[mj3610]

not a good idea to put full range speakers at the front they make ur door rattle (if they're in the door) as they produce full range frequencies (basssss) and its pumped at s*** quality into ur ears and into the door lining for a nice sheet metal wobbling sound ;), get components in the front

[destrukshn]

stock front speakers suck. Of course aftermarket speakers are gonna sound a lot better. Splits at the front, 2ways at the back and a sub. :D
