achillman Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 Hi,Anyone have a problem with vibrating door speakers? Seems if I turn the music up I get this corresponding thump from the door speakers. Have tried to make sure that theres no junk in the door trays etc, have adjusted the Bass but its still there..... Cheers Quote
mumof4 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 Yes i do..front ones for me...i to have emptied the pockets in the doors..now i have a feeling that mine have somehow come loose as the rattle i get is bloody awful...when i get chance im going to take the door cards off and have a gander..as i know that when i took the door card off the passenger side last time..a screw had worked loose and the speaker was not secure.

Cheers No, but I changed mine a few weeks ago because of the quality of sound. You might find that they're actually loose which means you will have to removemove the inside door panels or door cards and see if the mounting screws are loose. Or, you might find the speaker cones have separated from the metal frame of the speaker itself. Pretty unlikely that all the speakers have this problem so you need to find out which ones are vibrating at all volume levels, and if all of them are, then basically you've have another problem. To be honest, if you have the money change the 4 door speakers for better ones, you'll be surprised at the difference! Hope this helps Quote
katman Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 I changed mine a few weeks ago because of the quality of sound. How long does it take to replace all 4 speakers? I have the speakers but havent had a chance to fit them yet :) Quote

I have the speakers but havent had a chance to fit them yet :) Took me about 3 hours m8 ..... need some new yellow door clips first m8 because you will break some(Frauds - about 7 quid for 25) and there's some good threads and piccies that some good people have posted previously which helped me tremendously. Good luck Quote
Dave-G Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 You DO realise that Galaxy owners are prohibited from cruisin with loud music emanating from open windows and wot not huh? :) Quote
Guest Cepheus Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 Either OPs speakers are goosed or he's listening to some mashed-up hardcore drum&bass thats too much to handle for his papier mache OE speakers. :) As Bleeno said, changing them is the best thing to do, the difference is amazing. If you have a MK1 then my post on the subject is HERE to help. A good thread HERE on removal of door cards on the MK2 also Quote

Guest MATT jr Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 LMAO...join the big boys and through throw in a subwoofa! i was shocked to see such crap speakers had been fitted at the factory - and new sony ones did improve the sound! just dont expect it to suddenly turn into a theater - just by changing the speakers. MJR Quote
Guest gooner52 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 yes defo mat chuck in a sub or two or even three lose the 2 rear seats and do a great install there loads of thump :lol: got to install mine when the weather warms up2xjbl 12inch subs and amps very nice Quote

MJR hey Matt ...so how do i fit one of these sub woofers with a built in amp that you can buy from Halfords mate. Just want a bit more bass punch when the Motorsnakes playing without scaring the kids. Quote
Guest wolfie Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 Thanks for the reminder! just remembered mine is still stashed under the bed awaiting fitting! as for fitting? depends some units can accept an input signal via the OE head units speaker output cables! or just by a set of pre amp outputs, the one I have does both! when or if I ever get around to fitting it? I have the choice of inputs :lol: depending on which method is easiest? http://www.continentalimports.com/images/cms_265.jpg Quote
Guest gooner52 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 what speck are yours wolfie if you dont mind me asking thanks Quote

Guest wolfie Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 three years under the bed then :lol: yep, although it has seen use in another vehicle but due the aborted rebuild :P it's back under the bed gathereing dust along side a new VR6 throttle body! a momo corse steering wheel, a long board, a wild willy two :lol: (dont get too excite mo it's an RC car :lol: ) and several years collection of FHM, MAXIM and a hot cam for a VW Golf ;) Quote
Guest MATT jr Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 i thought the ready made efforts were very expensive for what you get... ...iv got a JBL GT075.2 amp - think its 290 watts RMS bridged (bought for Quote

I have the choice of inputs ;) depending on which method is easiest? http://www.continentalimports.com/images/cms_265.jpg Yea was thinking of using the speaker output cables m8, but, the problem with doing that that is that you have to match the output impedance of the amp with the speaker impedance, so by adding another speaker you are in effect reducing the impedance and risk blowing the amp. In your case I would use the pre-amp output but I have the oem sat nav head unit and dont know whether mine has one.... perhaps you can advise me please? Quote
