Looks good mate. Good price to. Just need a truck to put em in now!!!

 

Nice Andy, hope you get it really soon now mate :thumbright:

 

Any news on a delivery date yet?

 

Is there major issues with fitting new speakers (depths etc) I see you have rings, will the door card still sit flush?

Are you running them off the headunit or amping them?

I assume upgading the speakers even keeping them off the headunit will net a big improvement?

 

Gotta fit an amp just for the clairity specially with the speakers you have bought.

 

Shame your Navs ****** would be good to know how you got on with this lot!

 

Ouch, how much for them mdf rings!

but incase you didnt see this, i mounted the rears on mdf on the ariginall plastic rings, im guessing thats what your going to do?

All the bit have turned up now, but i cant do nowt until my nav is sorted since it blew up!!

any way, i did the speaker upgrade on my last nav doing it pritty much the way you did it fil.

BUT i got more bass over the standard speakers plus alot more clarity and mid range notes are alot more noticable, plus sounddeading the doors my have also helpped....i gess its down to speaker choice at the end of the day and hopefully the ones i chose this time will do the job, as, according to the reviews on them, they are designed for bass...Im not going to amp them as im happy with what they did on my old nav, i will just get amy amp and sub sorted or might try a slimline active sub box this time and go for quality rather than quantity of bass...

 

The Bass game can be fun but go for some quality it's better that way for everyday driving

 

I've had systems with serious bass. 2 x 12" JL Audio subs running about 1000 watts in a saxo!!!!

Fun, but tiring. Quality all the way for me.

I actually have a set of brand new DLS 6x9s from a few years ago sitting boxed in my folks shed that I might use in the Nav....

 

Yeah, im not so much into the boom boom boom now im getting older lol!!!

used to run 2x 10inch kicker square subs running approx 1000 watts rms in my saxo to, its used to give me blured vision it was that loud!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

I had a JL setup too was JL 500.1 JL 10W7 JL 300.2 (I think) and what ever the most expensive JL components were. Cost a small fortune but was brilliant kit. I had a load of RF stuff as well and a RE SE 12 that I got 143.6 db from

Good times!

W7 :thumbleft:




Ah the good old days...... Think I might change the speakers in the Nav actually.

 

W7 You know it! Think the amp was a 300.4 not 300.2.

The JL kit was so well built and just brilliant got me looking into it all again now! Doh

 

Just think how many subs you can fit in the back of a pathfinder..................lol

 

Exactly!! Get a roof box for shopping and push chair and I'm sorted

 

Looks like I made a bad choice! Fitted new speakers(well one) and compaired to the Nissan speaker it was put to shame. I am putting this down to the fact that the head unit just does not have the power to move the woofer. Looks like i need to do some amp investing!!

 

A few photos of tonights work!

 

There are only 2 screws holding the door trims on now

 

What amp you getting?

 

What amp you getting?

I dont know! I am a bit lost and p***ed of now! I thought the speakers would be a sure thing. I dont fancy attempting to get behind the head unit. Been looking all over for the perfect set up and a local company to sort it!!

 

Try talkaudio.co.uk they should be able to point you in the right direction.

Have you check all the connections?

Let us know what you do.

 

have you got you + and - the right way round on the speakers and have u only replaced the rear speakers???? if so, its the 6x9s in the front doors that will give you the bass and the rear speakers will give you midrange and high notes. also what ohms are your new speakers rated at comapired to the standard ones???

Cheers, I will give them a go. Yes, I have tried the connections. The sound was not distorted, just lacking good sound! I put the original speakers back in and they are better than the after Market ones. The only reason I was going down this route is the X Trail Nissan loaned me while waiting for the Nav had a Bose system in and it was awesome. Need to try and match it some how!

Cheers
