[johnprocter]

thanks

[EuroDude]

no worries

[johnprocter]

whats best brand to replace them with? pioneer/alpine? what else? i listen to mostly hard trance/hard dance electro all that kind of genre

[EuroDude]

Boston Acoustics , clarion, rockford fosgate, JL Audio, Kicker, kenwood are decent brands. Or jaycar if you are on a budget.

Avoid crap like sony and the low end pioneer stuff.


Get an Amp if you are gonna replace the speakers. If you install high wattage speakers, the treble will sound good, but there will be virtually no Bass at all, and the Mids will be lacking. The stock speakers are actually ok for the stock deck.

well iam getting a headunit first then should i get a amp then the speakers? and do i need to get a 4chan amp and 2 chan amp cause theres 6 speakers?

[EuroDude]

Get the headunit first, then the Amp, then the speakers. I wouldnt Amplify the stock speakers though unless you turn the Gain right down, you could blow them since they are very low wattage.

You need two channels for the front speakers+tweeters, two channels for the 6x9's, and one or two channels for the Subwoofer.


I would get a small 2ch Amp at the front to power the fronts, and something like the Audison SRx3 (3 channel amp) to power the 6x9's and Subby at the rear.

[johnprocter]

but in my euro there are 2 6inchs at front, 2 6inches at the rear seats then 2 6x9's at the back of the rear seats...

[EuroDude]

There are no speakers in the rear doors, its just an empty hole with a grill over it. You can put 6" speakers in there, but you may need to route the wires into the doors - not sure if there are stock wires in there from the factory.

I upgraded my Honda Euro in Febuary 2005

The system is still brilliant, the sound quality is fabulous.
I am still using the same head unit and steering wheel controls that came with the Euro. To look at the car you can not tell anything has changed.

I had it all done by Northfield Moorooka - Absolutely Terrific Service

Front Door Speakers and Tweeters - Focal 165 V Slim

The BEST and ONLY Speakers That Will Fit With Out Cutting .

Focal Polyglass speakers use one of the most unique woofer cone materials that we have ever come across. Focal uses a unique process to deposit a layer of hollow silica micro-balls over specialized pulp cellulose cones. This unique material, which feels a lot like sand paper, neutralizes the effect of standing waves along the surface. Polyglass stiffens the cone while significantly increasing neutrality and imaging qualities. The unique 1-3/4" TN 45 tweeter features Focals unique inverted titanium dome design which provides far better mechanical coupling to the voice coil than regular dome tweeter designs. This creates an upper end with resolution and detail that other tweeters simply cant touch. The tweeters come complete with accessories for flush or surface mounting. All Focal products are handcrafted in France, with every component manufactured in-house under the tightest quality control standards. Designed to fit oversized 7" 4-hole openings.
