I've installed my new head unit - if I got the model number wrong its the nice silver retro-looking unit with two large knobs (!!). I think some other people on the forum bought this unit too... Problem is the standard speakers sadly just aren't up to the job.

So... my question is, would anyone recommend any particular speakers to go with my head unit? I want the two front door ones (2 ways - I'll disconnect the tweeter) and also some rears (6x4 inch on the Fabia estate IIRC). No sub for now 'cause I need the boot space - it is an estate after all...

How much should I spend? I want quality sound to match the HU but I don't want to spend money for the sake of it...

Personally, for the fronts I'd aim in the "upper budget range" - about

Pioneer TS range are pretty good.

Joe,

Not sure on the size of the Furby fronts - I've got an Octy. Just fitted Infinity 6500cs up front (

Pioneer do the Ts range which is around the

Cerwin Vega or Planet audio are the way forward with speakers they're proper 'bo I tell thee

I've just put rainbow components into mine, but they're rather pricey.

If you're going to spend more than

just upgraded fronts to Focal utopia 165W's, they are brand new....cost wise start with

I am running a alpine MP3 HU Clarion mids and tweets in the front, with a stealth shelf with orion 6x9s and planet audio 1000w amp and planet audio additional shelf speakers. Oh and sounds fantastic and claer as a bell all the way through.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Think I'll have a look at the Pioneers. I'll probably go for components in the front... I think the HU will drive them OK and I can add an amp and sub later if necessary.

Are the Pioneer speakers shallow enough to fit the doors (with the VW spacers obviously). The shot where someone had cut part of the door frame away looked a bit drastic and I want to avoid this if possible!
