    hey cris did you ask if they have any astra adapter ring? apparently if you want to change the front speakers you need to have this metal ring on the door to give the speaker some spacing for the cone to fit into the door

    The rear speakers don't actually produce much low end - i presume by design, they are for rear fill. Now if thats the case - they may be high-pass filtered by the deck, which would be poop if you wanted to use them to get a good sub-bass signal.

    I wonder if there is some hidden line out connector or something that you can tap into behind the dash to get a good low level clean signal...

    this adaptor you need to use for the front speaker do you know if they sell these? http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/vaux...ors-p-498.html




    original speaker got that thickness that after market speaker doesnt have so after market speakers need the astra ring this one below is the original speaker


    The door panel only have small hole for the speaker

    Well they might depends, I'm assuming they would but I've got my system done using the OEM speakers with just a sub and amp and the system sounds insane...so I don't even know whether you really need to replace the speakers in there but it is an option. Best thing to do is ring LifeStyle store and see, they could probably even order the part in for you.

    Sounds good...I would probably do what I did and make them do a custom box for your boot, that way it looks clean and you dont have it sliding around especially if your going to get a 12" Rockwood punch sub like mine.. are you going to upgrade speakers?

    ya at somestage ill upgrade the rear speakers, i upgraded the front to the focal, they are going in tommorow. I got no money yet for anymore upgrade at the moment. Probably ill get the sub in about 3 months hopefully . The kicker is from my old car so ill use that for a little while now, going for SQ rather than SPL, not really into those doooff dooff..
