whats it like? wondering if i should let my 6x9's go with the Uno or keep them for the marea...

Thank you!
Ryan Edge

say bye bye to them

Sell the 6x9's with the Uno and get some components instead

if i sell them with the car it not going to add any value to the car, maybe i should remove them and sell for £20?

The Marea has 5x7" speakers as standard, with some tweeters on the dash. Standard speakers are fairly low quality.

I've stuck some decent aftermarket 5x7"s in and it's ok - the Marea is a fairly quiet veehickle, and I don't usually have it turned up to full moo anyway. A sub in the (ample) boot would make it a bit better, but that's not really my bag, baby.

oh - am running a Pioneer MP3 player instead of the standard unit. Biggest problem with taking it out is that you don't have a clock any more!

If you can fudge the 6x9"s in the rear shelf, then keep 'em - for the rear I'm not sure what the Weekend setup is though (apart from starting on a Friday evening and finishing on Monday morning before anyone starts... )

Dont you have a clock on your HU?

Nope, hence the comment about not having a clock any more

I replaced the Standard head unit with a JVC and it has a big digital clock on the display, looks neat.

hello everyone,

I just got my 2000/01 1.9 JTD Marea Weekend. Wondering what brand of CD-Changer can work with the HU. I seen someone manage to hook up with a Sony CD changer. If our original HU made by Sony?

Any infomation will be appreciated.

Thank you.

The Standard head units are made by Grundig.
Grundig CD changers come up quite alot on eBay for a reasonable price and if you're lucky your car may even have the cable as standard.
There are several threads on here relating to this matter.
Happy searching.

Hi,

I'm recent Marea 1.6 ELX owner.
Bought it on Monday.
It's GREAT!
My question is what is the tweeter (in the dashboard) size and how do I replace them?
Thanks

hello guys,

mine HU is AH182 H2 and i am trying to figure out how to set the unit auto on/off using the ignition key. looks like is it different than 185 model.

anyone know how to do so or there is no such function?

thks.

Problem with the Weekend is the speakers are sooooo far away in the back you really need to replace them with something able to project into the front without distorting.

Or..

Remove the roll-up parcel shelf and fit some home speakers. My dad's kit car (Rickman Space Ranger) could fit a pair end to end across the rear footwell! Boy was that loud and that didn't use an amp!

i'm actually fairly happy with the standard sound system, its clear, i need to fix my cd player to actually test it out but so far i'm happy, i only blare music out when i'm angry or on the motorway

I have had a sony auto changer fitted under the rear seat,
i am now looking to fit some 5x7's in the front.

welcome to the forum! enjoy your stay

if your going to do that you might need to upgrade the rears other wise you wont be able to hear them, i've had trouble balencing them it still sounds a little faded and thats with the standard speakers all around

Ryan

best thing to do is make a new shelf out of M.D.F. put a pair of 6x9's on it and a 1200 W sub in the centre.sounds pretty good.
