Audio specs on FD

[geboy]

Hi, Im really noob. I was just wondering, wat kinda speakers i could get to upgrade for my VTI without changing the stock headunit. Like is it 4' or 6' or both and how many way speakers (2,3,4)? Also how many speakers are there in the car that can be changed and their sizes please? AND wats the maximum watts it can take?

IIRC in the AUDM has only 4 speakers (2 in the front; one on each door) and 2 in the rear behind the back seat on the shelf. All are 6". Not too sure on the specs.

I was originally going to put in some high quality low power speakers but after talking to a few people realised that it probably wouldn't offer much improvement, ended up going with the amp/sub, and then later on adding splits.

Ive got a set of amplified Alpine Type R's in the rear and the standard ones in the front, makes a better sound than the 10 inch sub and the same speakers in my old car, I was once asked what sub i had in my boot

I do!

Well, they're not awesome but they're pretty good as stock speakers!

Yes i agree, pretty good for stock.

I am considering getting type R speakers for the fron and back.
Im also wondering if the head unit will be able to provide enought power to power these 4 speakers or i might have to get an amp

I'm happy with my stock speakers too

Whilst I agree the front ones are more than adequate, the rear speakers only have drivers the size of a 50c piece, if you want any sort of decent punch youll need something more substantial.

The type r's only just fit in the holes if you use the surrounds from the old rear speakers to mount them in, and because of the way they are mounted the boot the bass response is awesome

I liked them alot and thought they were comparable to much more expensive car's stock speakers. Even with the sub, I kept stock speakers and it still sounded alright. Of course once you amplify a set of splits you really feel the difference.

The fronts are identical to the rears. So yes, the drivers are also 50c pieces lol.
Though I must agree they sound reasonable considering their meagre proportions

Hi guys, I do think we have got 4 speakers in the FD, but what are those two "speaker" looking thingy hidden on each far side of the dash? (it's there in my VTI-L)
