I have 300W RMS Logitech Speakers in a 5.1 setup for the PC. In general' date=' I think it's an absolutely cracking setup, but other people will just diss Logitech for getting a THX sticker on everything they do and ruining the market.

I don't believe that personally, but it all comes back to opinion...

Hmmmmmm..............

The reason I no longer spend a fortune on ICE is due to my Home Cinema fetish.

Not listened to the logitech system so can't comment. Last year I did choose a Denon amp over some THX rated stuff but then again the new THX Select systems are more a marketing ploy if you ask me.

I currently sit with a setup that owes me about

Ahh yes, I'd agree with that, some of the THX systems do use it as a ploy. A lot of audiophiles will argue that the Logitechs aren't really that good.

Well for my specifications they are excellent. I have problems with buying a large system like what you have - I still live at home, so space is a premium being that I only have a modest bedroom to myself.

I'm hoping to correct this though

It would be best for you if you could actually HEAR the speakers before buying them

Maybe then you will buy the Pioneer speakers or some other that you didn't even think of.

Update.

Going against the advice of a few people here.

I bought TS-G1718, and TS-G1316 for a total of

OK

Following on from the fact I have purchased these...

What is the best way to install these? Dad has offered to help me with this, he has a crimping tool (so we can put spades on the car's wiring)

On the original setup, I have in the car 2 connectors that go into each speaker.

I assume ONE of these wires comes from the stereo, and the other goes out to the tweeter.

Few questions..

1. How can you tell these apart?

2. If I were to reconnect them, and I get them wrong, will it destroy the original speakers?

3. Now i'm going to co-axials, i'd assume the tweeters in the doors and the wiring between them will become redundant, that's fine though I guess.

I think the biggest question though

out of the two connectors, which of the two wires are to be connected to the new speakers?

I'd assume that if i connect the wrong ones, i'd end up with silence (as they would then be connected to the tweeters and that's it - Connecting thme to the other 2 wires would rule this out

Remove the Skoda speaker from it's housing, put the stereo on, pull off a connector and if only the tweeter stops working you want the other connector. If all goes quiet you have got the right one.

So what about the connectors? I'm ok just to remove the connectors and spade them up yars?

Cheers btw

The 1316 and 1718 are not co-axial they are dual cone, no tweeters.

See how you feel but I fear the sound may be a bit flat and not do justice to a new head unit.

I would experiment and see whether the sound is better with or without the front Skoda tweeter connected.

Hmmm point taken.

How would they be connected then though?

Would I have to combine the two connectors into one set of spades?

Yep.

Ahh! Nice!

I'd assume having just the 1316 in the rear would be fine on it's own?

Cheers all !

Should be, you certainly don't want to leave those standard rear tweaters in use.

Ohhhh no!

Thanks again Lee. Btw, I didnt think the front tweeters were that bad, kinda why I went for the 1718's for the front. See how it goes!

So, did you ever fit the speakers? (Main and tweeters?)
