Mike C Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 (edited) right then I would like good quality sounds, reasonably loud, WITHOUT subs or 6x9's I want it all to fit in the standard speaker positions in a MK6 so it looks factory, but sounds a fuckload better It doesn't have to be cheap, but don't want it to cost any insane amount What would you suggest?

Scotteh Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 i personally prefer JL audio after hearing many a JL system, the components in mine are quality, nice and crisp sound tweeters definitely make a difference too as for specific models i cant say, u wud have to talk to audio specialists for that as situations vary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted October 3, 2005 Author Share Posted October 3, 2005 yeah, ideally i'd like some nice JL stuff all round, but depends on £££ for summat decent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuball Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Can't go wrong with Alpine. Do direct fit speakers too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotteh Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 trouble with JL is its pricey for a good sytem, kenny spunked 2.5 to 3k on the audio in mine at one point, all JL audio, but he got rid of most of it cuz he wasnt in car often enuf to warrant it lol, profesionally fitted etc too, as i found out wen looking for cables in the car if ya want m8 i can nip into cel-direct this week and ask them wot they say?

Drk_red_Mk5 Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 ive found pioneer to be quite good. go for either the tse seires or accelerate ones. also ive heard some infinity gear, that was about the same as pioneer but a bit dearer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyCanning Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 i have got the apline ones and they are very good for the price although if Creative did some they would be first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 If you wana put 17cm speakers in the doors then you need the auto leads adaptor plates to make em fit! Had to do it with mine, i got 17cm pioneer front speakers and ther pretty gd tbh didnt cost me much and they do the job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 You won't get a good sound quality from replacement speakers. The doors in an Escort just don't provide you with enough space and insulation, so you lose all your bass. The rears are slightly better, but tricky to find OEM replacements (all generic 5x7's won't drop straight in). I've got 6.5" JL co-axials in the front and they sound great and take power, but the bottom end is really lacking. You need door pods to really benefit.
