Nah thats a bit out of my price range, i only want something to improve sound quality from the rear speakers, which i think i'm going to to for 6x9's.

What do you all think about that deal for Rockford Fosgate 6x9's for £69.99, here's the spec:

Pair 6x9" 2-Way High Performance Full Range Speakers With 75W RMS/150W Peak Handling and Poly Cones, Grilles Included

High Street RRP £119.99



Price (Inc. VAT & Carriage): £69.99

but if you want quality, i'd suggest the following:

Alpine headunit
Focal Components up front
10" sub in sealed box
Audison Amp

This uses the KISS method

Are 6x9's in the shelf actually very bassy then ? Cos from my experience they aint, but thats only Vibe 6x9's off a Blaupunkt HU

Yeah, but u'll really benefit from changing your headunit, notice the difference.

one 15" good sub, JL audio, are the dogs bollox!!

Nice amp, powerfull one to power sub id get a four way amp cos if u decide to upgrade in near future then saves u buying more amps etc




Some good 6* 9*s
stay away from cheap ones and shite brands

Yeah, i reckon it fits in with the dashboard surround well, some aftermarket stereo's look odd in a new Sxi

I was thinking about Rockford Fosgate 6x9's, cos there is a website which are having a special offer on them, they're normally £129, and they're selling them for £69.99.

Do they sound bassey then? Cos my mate has Vibe 6x9's and they aint that bassy

Well, pioneer e-motion coaxials are quite nice, or sony custom fit 17cm.

Rockford 6x9's are quite bassy, as are Cerwin Vega (if you can find some) or again, Pioneer E-motion 6x9's.

I want to keep my Standard HU, cos i think it looks good in there, i was just wanting some nice sound quality from the rear, and also some nice bass.

What should i get?

I'm not sure what to get ICE wise in my new Sxi, at the north city cruise last night there was a geezer who was running an amp, and 2 12" subs off his standard HU, and it sounded wicked.

I don't want OTT ICE, just something nice, with quite good sound quality.

I LOVE Bass, so if you recommend any 6x9's or rear components, what makes are good ?

Cheers guys :thumbs:
