Guest emjay Posted March 25, 2003 Report Posted March 25, 2003 I am keen to improve the sound from my V6 Si. The speakers are the weakness and I would be interested to hear from anyone who has tried to do this. Quote
Guest Ian Hampton Posted March 25, 2003 Report Posted March 25, 2003 And while your at it what about an aftermarket replacement for those goddam speaker grilles!!!I'm sure someone must have found a metal grille or something more substantial (to stop my kids kicking them in!!!!) :( Ian Quote
Guest alanf Posted March 25, 2003 Report Posted March 25, 2003 it depends on what you want to do? you can get aftermarket factory replacement speakers from most good ice shops, these just fit into the original fixings behind the door skins, or you could go further and replace the original fitted speakers with something bigger that mounts over the original holes, but sits on the surface of the door! not the prettyist looking option but gives you metal grills that the kids cant kick in that easy!

jakey247 Posted March 26, 2003 Report Posted March 26, 2003 On a previous Galaxy I upgraded the speakers for Sony units. these were mounted behind the panels (which are a pain to remove by the way!). With door panels off I the carefully removed the old grilles and glued the steel sony grilles in place. The finished effect was very neat. plus you can always spray paint steel grilles to match the interior! Quote
Guest Feanor Posted May 5, 2003 Report Posted May 5, 2003 Emjay Why do you say the speakers are the weak point in the sound system? I have the Sat Nav system with an added CD autochanger. The sound is pretty weak and I thought this might be due to the Sat Nav system (which does not normally support a CD autochanger) having a relatively poor amplifier. Is this likely? If the amplifier is the problem is it possible to add a better one and can anyone suggest a good one? (for around Quote
