the stock speakers are shot. addvest 20watt 30watt max

Lol those are cheap! If you want a good sound, at least get components. I'm sure you can find some around the $100 mark, from a known brand like JVC, Sony, Fusion etc, if you don't mind 2nd hand?

New from Pioneer / Infinity, you're looking around the $200 for entry level components.

Some cheap options:

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-stereos/speakers/jvc/auction-406251474.htm - JVC

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-stereos/speakers/sony/auction-405873335.htm - Sony

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-stereos/speakers/other/auction-406966415.htm - Fusion

ok never been big into sounds, i already have kenwood tweeters if that makes a difference, what are components?

i just want the stock 1s replaced, wont be getting a sub/amp at all for this car

[Scoobydoo]

Components have a seperate woofer / tweeter, instead of 2-ways which have both built in.

They just have a better sound, and are a lot clearer to listen to

ok cheers

[rex-leggy]

please dont buy any of those.

ive got alpine type r componants and they go really good.

these would be ok.

even maby these but who knows about the quality

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-stereos/speakers/other/auction-406384899.htm

better to pay a little more so you can turn it up without all the crackles

Alpine Type-R's could handle the power. 110W RMS rated. I ran 220W into mine. Although at $250-300 (new); more a medium quality speaker.

The cheaper Type-S ones weren't too bad either. They were about $170 from Parallel Imported in East Tamaki, about 4 years ago. New entry Alpine stuff seems to look nasty - although I've never used it.

Cheap speakers do start around the $200 mark though. Any cheaper and they tend to be harsh to listen to due to the high-pitched 'tinny' sound.

But sticking to mainstream known brands does also help.

I'm assuming front speakers for the STI wagon? Factory ones would be components, so you don't really want to downgrade to a co-axial.

I've got some Jaycar 6" components that are a direct fit - they are actually very good for cheap speakers. $70 and they're yours. I had them in the car for a week, and ran 75W into them. You'll have to cut the stock spacers a bit as the magnets are slighly larger than factory.

I would rate them well over anything Sony or Fusion put out.

last time i was at repco they had some pretty damn cheap new speakers, would be worth a look at least

^^^ hey ive got a xplod headunit with all stock speakers replaced with fusions/sonys + 10" fusion sub and some kind of amp which i cant see as is bolted to the box, sound quality/clarity/definition is pretty damn good IMO

[spark_38]

Some of the Repco stuff isn't too bad - at least you can hear it before buying! The comparator's generally have sealed speaker enclosures to give the speakers more mid-bass response, in a car they will not sound the same.

Actually anything aftermarket is generally better than worn factory fitted speakers. A lot of them tend to perish at the surrounds and go crackly.

Addzest/Carrozzeria are often OEM fitted speakers in Japan by (Clarion/Pioneer), and so are roughly the age of the car. So a 1999 model, 12-13 years old = well poked.

Also rated at 20-30W to run off a factory headunit putting out 15W RMS. They are often killed with aftermarket headunits running more power 50W (MAX) with EQ's and Loudness switched on.

You seem to change cars quite frequently.... 2006-2007 was the year for me, 4 different cars!

I'll bet that double din is a Jappa too. So can only pick up Classic Hits 89.5 in the bay...

You coming to the Palmy meet on the 8th Oct?

Don't buy fusion. They have a few nicer subs though.

Want good car speakers? Dynaudio or MbQuart. Want shit ones? Whatever you listed above. Want to pay lots for shit ones? Bose.

Want cost effective? Alpine, Polk, Pioneer, JL Audio, Kicker, Adire. And from there on it depends one what speaker you get. 2nd hand pair of those and you can't go too wrong.

Go Rockford Fosgate. My whole system is Rockford and I'm pushing around 140.2 dB last time we checked

[Scoobydoo]

My next setup is going to be Soundstream speakers / sub, with JVC and Caliber amps, Pioneer headunit

Loud != Good.

if you want to easily get more than 140 bang in a pioneer headunit and fusion power plant sub and amp then voila easy 140db

Haha I wouldn't go quite that far to say it's that easy, you still need good, clean power and a well designed box. The standard Repco/Supercheap chipboard boxes generally don't cut it. I've seen many installs at competitions that sound bloody loud in a car, but don't produce very big numbers on a dB meter. More / bigger subs don't always mean big numbers.

it is that easy if you know what your doing. and correct doesnt mean youll have better numbers with more subs. like a lot of people think. its all about matching things is what ive found installing over the past 5 years and having a good power and grounding with good sized wiring

I'll believe it when I see it sorry bro. Seeing as a friend won the 4nR sound off with 143.6 dB. And I have put more money into my sounds than I care to mention.
