NeilH Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 right i need a some advice on what 6x9's to go for because im lookin to buy some very soon. not ideal i know but the holes are there in the parcel shelf so i got no option. i just wanna know whats a good power rating because i like to crank it up a bit if im in the car alone and a good song comes on. im not bothered about what particular brand they are either, as long as they are good quality. also, im looking for a single DIN head unit as i have a double DIN in there atm and im shittin a brick every time i park my car somewhere because it aint a face off. ideally id like a flip out DVD player, but im open to suggestions.more importantly, if anybody has speakers or a good head unit for sale ill buy them off you if im happy with condition and price.health,Big Neil.

Fogdoggydog Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I have no idea what 6x9's are the best, but when I bought my first car I bought the cheapest 6x9's that halfrauds were selling at the time. And the cheapest MP3 playing headunit with a 4x50W power rating - which was a JVC.The speakers were £35 blue JVC jobbies, rated at 250W or something, but DOOD they sounded great. The main cone was rather flimsy which, I suppose, made them easier to move, making them very punchy. And the treble always sounded very crisp and clear. I don't think any 6x9's offer outstanding bass, and I was never able to compare them against any other 6x9's, but for the price I could not fault them at all.In fact, I miss them. ;) The system in my current car has two 12" subs and some 13cm co-axial speakers is definitely a lot bassier, but it lacks mid-bass PUNCH and doesn't sound as clear the system with the 6x9's.As for the head unit, I'd just pick something that has all the features you want. Any head unit from a decent manufacturer will sound fine in a car, because although more expensive unit may have better specs, I'll be very hard to hear the subtle differences over the road noise anyway.

Blue Icarian Wings Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 £40 when I got em, they were in my car, now in the missus, I think their good!My head unit the cheapest JVC there, had flames on it (why I bought it! ;) ) still in my car, plays mp3 CD's and has a sub pre-out good if you want to expand later, I've no probs with it, or complaints about it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NeilH Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 Update on this:my parcel shelf doesnt have 6x9 holes in it!!!!when i removed the speakers for the first time tonight they were fitted by using a through bolt and a wing nut. so my parcel shelf basically has 2 small holes in it either side where the speakers used to be. to say im happy is an understatement!so now i wont need any god awful 6x9's. im just going to upgrade the front 4" speakers with the best i can afford. that will be enough for me, dont want to much weight, and ive done all the posh installs and the ba donk a donk speakers before in my younger days. so now im on the look out for a head unit, or as i said previously, a flip out dvd player. if anybody wants the carozzzzzeeriaerianarianoria speakers i just took out your welcome to the cuntin things. they even full on chav spec and light up blue if thats your preferance.regards.

NeilH Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 question: does anybody on here have a DVD player in their glanza? ive just been lookin because ive found one cheap and i dont think its gonna fit properly because of the shape of the dash.it looks like the screen wont be able to come up at enough of an angle to see it properly if you know what i mean.

Idrees Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 The centre console took slight mods for the screen to pop out as this picture shows: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
