Thread: Speaker upgrade

Hey Steve, I'm pretty keen to have a listen to your setup when I get my P38 running again. I like what you have put together and myself would like to retain a split 3 way system as well. The standard speakers leave a lot to be desired but I was surprised at the amount of power the door amps had.

I must be the odd man out, I find the standard system to be very good.

I find the system in my 2000 to be an excellent sound also.
Or are we talking earlier models?

Great write up. My 2000MY HSE sounds great stock, but this type of knowledge for other users is invaluable.

I echo the above! Awesome write up! Have not an issue with either of my P38's sound quality.

I did, however, replace all the speakers in my blue one as the old cones had worn out.

For a factory sound system from the late 90's I think it's still better than a lot of offerings today!

Cheers

No problems mate, I wouldn't mind having a look at the massive engine swap you are doing !

The standard sound system is pretty good for sure, as long as your speakers are not seized and warped like mine were !

So the choice came down to second hand genuine speakers of an unknown provenance, a recone or getting new speakers.

Hi

I would say that if your speakers are in good shape then a head unit upgrade would be the best way to improve the sound.

I did think at one point when I was doing the crossovers "is this really worth it" but I was very pleasantly surprised at the difference it made having a proper crossover for the mid/tweeters
