Thread: TD5 Audio upgrade help

Do not buy speakers without having the car there, or, alternatively, taking your front doorskin with you!

The doors will hold most 6 inch speakers, and some 6.5in speakers...BUT....very importantly, the "cone angle" varies from speaker to speaker, and this will interfere with the fit. You can make any fit with a dremel, but its tedious, and messy.

The door skin takes about 5 mins to pop off. Walk into shop, put it on counter, tell them to find a speaker that fits, then listen to that speaker and see if you are happy.

If you are pedantic, and must have a certain speaker type...like yours truly, be prepared to **** around for ages making it fit

I have the Alpine 6inch type R splits in my doors.

cheers for the help was much appreciated

aaron did ya type r 6.5's fit right in or did ya have to muck around a bit?

I had them fitted by westside car audio in Osborne park, I will call them tomorrow and find out then post.

Depending on budget, try Focal's.
They are pricey but perform better than most, they make a perfect set for the front with splits and external crossover where you select own frequency etc.

They also have a powered sub to fit snug under the seat.

Once you hear them next to say pioneer or even polk audios, they really shine so bring you credit dard.
