Title: 4x6 parcel shelf support speakers
Post by: Eddypeck on June 15, 2020, 04:56:11 PM
The rear speakers in mine are still the original VW items. I'm looking to upgrade.

I was considering making up some kind of adpater to fit 5.25 round miderange and component tweeter but I'm not 100% conviced on that idea so might just go with like for liek replacements.

Don't want to spend a mint, but wondered if anyone had any experince with these Alpine SXE-4625S https://tinyurl.com/y9nngbfv or any alternative before I hit buy now.

I've actually bought those same speakers myself but havent got round to fitting them yet. They should deliver plenty of volume without having to hack the car around.

I recon those Alpines would be pretty nice.

After all, you only want a bit of rear fill.
Spend all the big bucks for your up front components, that's where you sit :))

Well thankfully the previous owner did that with a nice Focal component set up. I've been l looking at some alternatives and found some with a lower frequency responce, but then got into an article that made the whole like for like comparison of frequency response a bit more tricky to work out so now I don't know where I stand,  :))
