Hey just about to go buy some new components, can anyone recommend some?

and what are the sizes that fit again?

 

6.25" to 6.5" with spacers will fit.

DLS is what I have - they're quite nice
Focals - Lovely speakers - not my preference for the S2k though
Alpine, Kenwood, Pioneer - they'll all do the job.

good luck getting the cables through if you're amping - my cabling took me 2 days :

 

What's your budget?

 

Took me 15 mins each side.

Overall took me about 5 hours to fit the amp/speakers.

Although the speakers I had were sh1t.

Will get some new ones soon

 

Whilst you have the door cards off, it's well worth putting a bit of sound deadening on the door inner skins, and on the outer skin behind the speaker. Made a significant improvement in the bass response of my Focals, even just using cheap sound deadening material.

 

So what spacers do you need? Just to keep the magnet etc away from the door?

 

Yup, they're approx 10mm thick. Mine are just MDF, but you can buy pre-made plastic ones.

 

Ron, I'll buy you some spade connectors for Christmas


(I know, I know, you felt the solder connection was better ).

Just noticed the dirty marks on your toolkit cover - precisely the same oliy marks I've had on mine for years....until the Easter weekend. 1001 cleaner, very gentle agitation, blot out with kitchen roll - it's come up a treat!

 

 

I have some alpines in the front, they cost
