caimbeul Posted August 20, 2009 Report Posted August 20, 2009 Hi All, Ths is my first post on the OC :) There are undoubtebly some noob questions but i hope that you seasoned ICE people will be able to assist ;) - - Sorry I Really am new at this. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on what are hopefully a few straightfoward queries I have... I have an 07 plate galaxy (not sure what "Mk" that is but hey) I am looking to replace the CD6000 head unit and speakers for in there for something better. I have looked at lots of nice flashy Double Din head units and nearly choked at the prices so have opted for a single din and would therefore need the fascia adaptor. The first questions is: I have a silver trim dash and obviously need a matching fascia, are there any particular fascias or brands that people know from experience are a good match to the plastic in the car? I remember a garage doing the headunit on an old focus and the fascia was not quite the same silver and it always bugged me! Moving on to the speakers, I read somewhere ages ago that ford C-Max "spacers"(?) are required to fit aftermarket speakers but cannot seem to find that info again. Can someone confirm what speaker sizes i can consider for the front and back doors and if anything special is indeed needd to fit them? Do i need to replace the in dash tweeters? As most head units seem to drive 4 speaker channels do i need to lose the very rear and in dash and rear door tweeters? How important is it to match the Ohms? Thank you in advance for any help! :) DarrenPS: When I get it done if someone wants to take the CD6000 off of my hands along with the speakers they are welcome to do so for nowt. :-) Quote
