Punto Mk2 : Affordable Sound Upgrade?

[WaxMechaniK]

Hi guys,


I have the factory fitted stereo and speakers in my Fiat Punto mk2 2004, but I would really like a sound upgrade, although I don't want to spend much.

In my previous car (a 2 seater) I upgraded the door speakers and added a sub, it was great, but the sub was just too much, I don't need all that bass. I want a nice bit of bass, but I want clarity more than anything, I don't wanna be heard from a mile away, my exhaust does that for me haha.

So what I would like to do is upgrade the sound system somehow to increase the sound quality without a sub and on a budget. Would a good set of door speakers do much on their own? The car came with upgraded rear speakers fitted to the boot lid too but they have a crap sound, I'm not even sure if they are wired in properly.

Of course the HU is another upgrade option but I don't know if this helps much? I would love to be able to use my iPhone to play music instead of CD's, but this might be 'Step 2', unless otherwise.

Any advice/tips, greatly appreciated, thanks!

If you are going to upgrade your sound system always start with upgrading the HU, as they will always produce better sound quality than the standard factory fit. And it really depends on how much you are actually going to spend to gauge which speakers will best fit your requirements and budget
