JBL speakers

[stalemate]

Hi people I am new, I just need a bit of help.

I just got an alpine cda 9855 on my insurance so as it is such a good unit i felt i should improve the speakers a bit.

I used to have cheap 6x9 s in the back which i have just replaced.

My question is if i replace the front speakers will there be any improvement in sound quality from the standard ones the punto mk 2 comes with?

I Know they are 16.5 cm but is it a case of literally unscrewing the faceplace and simply swapping the old for the new?

the speakers i am looking to buy are......

Hi

They'll be an improvement without a doubt.

If theyre 16.5cm then it is pretty easy to swap them, but make sure the new speakers aren't too deep for the door. Also I think you'll need to chop the old connectors off so you can wire the new speakers up

wicked where do i find out the mounting depth, because i think the speakers i want are 59mm deep

cheers peeps

Get a tape measure of your current depth now, and make sure its ok with the new speakers. Just cut off the ****ty gay connecters split polarity and either put your own Spades on or jsut wrap wire round.!

I have one word for you. 'Components'.

i agree but well expensive because i would have to pay for them to be installed as i no sod all about installing anything but basic speakers

Its soooooooo easy. I wouldnt say it is any harder than plugging in new seakers. Just a few more wires, Instuctions tell you exactly how to do it anyway. The only problem you could possibly have is finding a place to put the tweeters.

Its no probs on the mk2, there are already tweeters fitted standard Just swap them over

 

[stalemate]

how do u just swap them over, is the tweeter not linked to the speaker, or do you just put new tweeters in using the wires from the original components

You can do if you want to. A lot easier. You could also (better quality...) replace the wiring for some decent oxygen free copper... wiring.
