Speaker Upgrade (recommendations?)

[CountryPug]

Ok guys, I want to upgrade the speakers in my 406. I can sense a couple of them becoming a little arthritic recently. Now its been a while since my Max Power boyracer days, who currently makes a good combination of speakers which would fit the 406? I like to keep everything the same brand were possible. I'm aware of the big brands like Pioneer, Alpine, Sony etc. making quality stuff but quite often there's a less well known brand offering the same performance for a fraction of the price. The front door speakers are first on my list to replace. Any advice?

hello country pug,

most speakers are good these days, i tend to stick with JBL because they are a well known brand for good speakers at good value for money as well,
i have infinity speakers which are the same as JBL (same company)

but if brand is no matter to you then any of the brands you know will be much better than them standard rubbish that are fitted in the 406,

you can get direct replacement ones in size, 16cm in the front, 6x9s in the back, the rear are a little tricky to fit tho , ive placed mine on top of the shelf with MDF wood underneith, i will post a pic if you like how it looks with it being on top.

also i would recommend this shop .its based in hayes, middlesex, london, they take orders over the phone and are the UKs best car audio supplyer ,ive searched all over UK to find better prices than these have and no1 beats them ( for most things)

ive spent a lot of money in this shop (£600 in the last 3 weeks to be precise)

Thanks for the link Gary, looks to be a really good site and like you said, very good prices

I've spotted a pair of Alpine's for £26, I'm pretty sure I saw the same speakers in Halfrauds for £45 not all that long ago

Never worry about posting a pic of your parcel shelf, I'll probably be asking your advice again when I get to that stage

no problems,, ye prices are very good here, im getting the alpine 117ri head unit, here its £275 in my local car audio shop its £399

you have a shipping fee here which isnt much, still cheaper with post cost than local stores

ye no problem message wen your ready about rear speakers ,
