upgrading speakers

Hi all, I have a gps t-jet and i want to upgrade my sound system. atm I cant afford to go out and buy sub amp etc etc so i was just wonder if i just changed the speakers for now and keep the same headunit would it make much different or isn't the head unit powerful enough no get the most out of higher watt speakers. thanks in advance.

The headunit is fine. Infact, I will probably lose my hearing a good few years earlier due to the volume I play my music at in the GP.

All I have done is replace the front speakers for for some 60Watt (RMS) coaxil speakers.

Gives much more booming bass now.

Word of warning though. The GP speakers (front and back) are riveted to the door, so they require drilling out intially. There is a guide in the guides section on how to do this.

Make sure you take your time installing the new ones. I would go for screwing the new speakers in as apposed to riveting, as if the speaker is fastend down and you find that things are shaking etc behind the door, it is a bit of a pain in the ass to keep drilling rivets out.

What speakers have you got install now if you dont mind me asking?

IME the standard HU underpowers the speakers so much. I have changed my HU to an alpine and the standard speakers are now 10 x better than they were with the standard one. You could try upgrading the speakers but this is pointless as the standard HU will be 10-20rms most likely so it wont be able to power a 60watt rms speaker any better than it would a 30rms speaker.

i did headunit then changed all the speakers, vibe components up front and vibe 3 ways in the back

ohh yeeeahhh makes my ears bleed

Wow i knew vibe were bad but i didnt realise they could make your ears bleed

lol

bloody good speakers tbh, and yes i have heard others
