John Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 hello ppl right i'm in need of serious upgrades in the way of speakers, if possible i'd like to keep them in the standard positions. what is gonna fit in there? some spotty little teen in halfords told me that "u can get these plastic things that fit in the place where they are now but then u can fit 17cm in there front and rear" but he couldn't tell me anything apart from that so please can someone help me out here!? if 17cm are possible then what kinda speakers to go for? surely mounting depth is gonna be important? give me some clues ppl, i'm getting well pissed off with the clicking coming out of my speakers! cheersjohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 The spotty gimp is right You can get adaptors that fix where the standard speaker fittings are and enable you to fit 17cm speakers. You have to be careful with the depth though, cos when I put some in the window hit the back of the speaker and wouldnt wind down There was a thread on here somewhere about it but I cant find it now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 I got some Alpine :suprise: speakers for the front and rear of my Mk5, I had to use those plastic adapters to fit 'em too. But when I tried to move 'em into my Mk6, the rear plastic adapters didnt fit! Apparently you have to chop out a little bit of the circle to get em to fit in I just got my front ones in and kept the rears as standard. To behonest, I didnt notice a lot of difference between my standard fronts and the Alpine ones :suprise: Jordan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To behonest, I didnt notice a lot of difference between my standard fronts and the Alpine ones :suprise: Jordan the standard ford ones are very good for standard espically in escort compared to fez ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted March 15, 2003 Author Share Posted March 15, 2003 well i agree the standard ones ain't bad but mine keep clicking, maybe just the tweeters or something but i figured if i'm spending money changing them then i might as well go all out and do it properly and besides no doubt standard ford ones cost Shite loads anyway. any more ideas?
