hi all,

are there any GOOD small speakers for cars?

like these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-Mini-Twins...d=p3286.c0.m14

how will the sound be like though

A;ready got 2 speakers but theyre heavy and bulky, want something light

cheers

 

are you looking for full range speakers or just tweeters?

to keep you right, tweeters cover the high range sounds, mids cover the mid range and woofers cover the lower range.

if these are your only speakers the sound will be crap, a set of componets or co-axial's may be the way to go .

 

well just a normal set of speakers, dont exactly no tweeters lol. are they shit?

 

just edited my post.^

 

are the components heavy though? so tweeters alone wont be good enough?

 

weights vary, components usually consist of a 4' to 6' speaker and a tweeter.

a tweeter alone would be no use IMO as you would loose any bass/mid range that was in the music.

 

ahh ok ic mate, so theres no hope in weight saving lol I have two and I think they weight like 5kgs the pair of them

 

Typically, the heavier the speaker the better the speaker, so make your mind up what you want.

 

ic that mate. what about Bose? they make great quality small speakers for home cinemas, dont think they make for cars though.

cheers for the replies

 

what size of speakers do you have at the moment?

 

dont know mate a friend just gave them to me so I just put them in the car.

 

ok, what car are they in? where are they mounted? are they round or oval? or are they like a sealed unit like a small house speaker?

 

they were in my skoda favorit lol, but I bought an escort mk4 so will be putting them there. theyre mounted on the parcel shelf and they are roud. no theyre not a sealed unit.

 

if your wanting the best compromise between sound quality and weight saving, forget putting anything on the shelf just remove all the speakers in the car and put a good set of components up front.

 

good idea that. do u know of any links mate just to have a guide? cheers!

 

i've not bought any speakers for a while, i had a quick look on ebay,

i don't know who's making the good stuff just now, but these look ok,
