Your Mods To 2006-2011 FD Civics

[Shimian]

Looking to upgrade my front and rear speakers (fronts with tweeters). Will there be much difference vs stock speakers as it requires a hi-lo converter vs RCA inputs. The aftermarket headunit has a "Built in 50W x 4 Channel High-Power MOSFET Amplifier" so i will not be installing amps or subs.
Is it worth the upgrade to aftermarket speakers? Or not much point as i am not installing amps? I read somewhere that installing aftermarket speakers allows me to customize the audio from the HU better than using the stock with hi-lo converters.

This is for my Civic FD2 06
Any info is appreciated.

thanks

nah not yet. But thinking of doing it in one hit. Since hi-lo converters go for about $30. Im assuming i need 2, why not go for new speakers. If its true that i can customize the equalizers better with RCAs vs hi-low. Why not spend the little extra.

okay...here it is...
upgrading speakers without hu or amp = pointless it will give better quality by say 5-10% but lest volume by around 20%
upgrading HU without upgrading speakers = basic but it will give better quality and volume
adding amp = weak hu (whats the point?)

I dont mind this one. As long as its better than stock which i was happy with.
what about upgrading HU + speakers but NO amp/sub = ???

thanks
