But also wanting to upgrade (without spending sh*tloads). So wondering what size the current speakers are both in front and back and also after recommendations of what to use for fronts and backs ? Pretty sure there's a common name that goes around when replacing the sub in the parcel shelf but feel free to post up any recommendations .Cheers in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May do the sub later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can only adjust treble and bass. So far I have just fitted a 12" pioneer box , sun and amp. You'd be suprised the dif. Just some good bass can make.

Mine doesn't so I'll have to mount an amp and use the rear speakers for input. :/I swapped the fronts for Kicker splits ($180 from ryda.com.au) and mounted the tweeters in the doors, which actually made a massive difference over the factory cardboard speakers.I'll swap the rears to Kicker non splits ($80) and add the sub which will be fine I think, I don't crank music these days anyway.

Get a good sub and amp/s and you'll be happy.. I have Premo sound too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swapped my uncles factory sub for an 8" jaycar driver. Still no match for a proper boxed sub though.Decent amps also make a big difference as Mika said.

I swapped my uncles factory sub for an 8" jaycar driver. Got any details onthe Jaycar 8"? My factory sub is cactus. Desire to install box and loose associated boot space is low.

It seems to handle a lot more power than the factory item but would also sound better with a bit more power behind it.It's not a free air sub, just an 8" driver but for $40 it does the job. It fits in the factory position but from what I can remember you might have to drill some now holes to get it to fit up properly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
