Or maybe get a good component set and do soundproof first?

does it mean getting a pair of tweeters and an amp, hooking it up to my current stock speakers will improve the sound?

btw, how do i choose my speakers then? since i won't be putting in a woofer, is there any specific type of speakers that can reproduce the tight bass that i'm looking for? (like those metal bass drum, solid and tight sounding?)

you get a 2 way component set, that consist of a pair of tweeters + 6.5" mid/midbass + crossover unit

if the bass is not enough for you, consider an actual subwoofer. you may opt to get a small enclosure/sized sub.

heya fellas, need some advise on some rear speaker upgrades...

- Your ride: polo tsi
- Prefer SQ/SPL/SQL: good clarity with light bass (just enough bass, not a thumper fan though)
- File format/medium used in your source: mostly 192kbps or higher mp3 or CD on my RCD510
- Genre of music you listen to: mainly jazz, unplugs, pop, country, sometimes classical and rock
- Setup type preferences: currently using bostons S60 component front (LIKE), but the S55 coaxial rear is quite crappy...
- Other requirements (if any): guess not a bass head so can skip subwoofer

budget below 1k, since i'm only thinking of changing rear speakers...
it's really under performing compare to the front S60

thanks ya

if you have no amp, save up a little more for an amp.

thanks for reply,
so i should just leave the rear speakers alone? disconnect & throw away?

fader setting is at center, the front speakers does sound louder & much much clearer

Fade to the front. And add an amp if you really feel like spending money.

or if you're like me whos rear speakers are stock proton and aged more than 12 years, straight cut to the wires

Hi guys, my current setup from a few years ago is as follows :-

pioneer p80rs
focal k2p
audison LRX1.4
helix p400

However, this morning when I started up my car and drove out, i realize the component set is out. Only the tweeters are still having sound, the 6.5" both sides are completely out. What would be recommended to replace these focal k2p comps ? budget is around 1k - 1.5k.

considering being a reputable brand, and assuming IF you dont blast your speakers all day erry day, it could be just wires/connectors loosened.

perhaps try diagnosing it before making a conclusion to replace?

Used to do it when I just bought them in 09, but nowadays, once in awhile only.

For now, just looking for replacement options , I'd definitely bring it to the guy that does my wiring to have them checked out before doing anything. It's just that I'm out of town now cuz of exams.

The mono and amp is built into a custom made encloser which is a heck lot of an awkward position for me, but as far as the wiring there is concerned, nothing is loose, can't say the same for the doors though cuz I'm not educated enough on opening it up.

i tend to blast my speakers time to time too, so i also face this issue some times, and all the time its just the wires being loose or not having enough contact and usually just need to unscrew the speaker out and clip it back.

hence why i recommended to check first unless you're itching for an upgrade (instead of replacement) then perhaps you can start listing out further criteria of your upgrade

=edit=
on your further edited msg:
usually the wiring on the amp/mono side should be no problem, they aren't the ones vibrating, the 6.5" speakers are, and if any loosen wires would happen, it would start from there first

not really, i went with this set in 09 as recommended by ckmoy007 and I never looked back, very satisfied with the cash I've spent and I've never had issues. I'll try to find a local shop here to get it checked out then. But anyways,IF the comp set is truly out, I'm only looking to replace it not upgrade it. Something in the same ball park as the k2p.

p/s - just saw ur edited reply. lol. yeah, that's the part I don't dare to open up. But anyways, thanks. Will get it checked out.

let us know how it turns out then, also make sure you are with the guys checking on your speakers to avoid any bullshit stories unless you really trust them. they may just simply diagnose and claim its spoiled just to force you to buy something thats bad (or really dishonest ones, purposely damage your speakers )

hey guy

i plan to get a suzuki swift as my first car, but the gx spec is only come with 2 speaker at the front seat , and unfortunately i do not have any knowledge about car audio system, mean 0%. i plan to get 2 speaker replace the front seat there and that 2 original speaker move to the rear passenger seat ? is that good idea ? or probably get another 2 small speaker on the side mirror there.. usually listen more on pop , rock, band or sometime classical. i dont think i needed woofer to boost up bass level. but atleast the normal speaker can give some minor level of bass sound.

i dont know this simple audio setup will cost how much . anyone can tell me?

save up for a decent component set, including installation rm500-1k give/take for an entry level. if you want you can sound proof/custom speaker mounting for the door panels starting maybe rm300-400++

just go and get a component set and put it at front, u will be amazed if u choose the right thing with the right install

thank Quazacolt and howiechoo answering my question
may i know brand of level entry of component set and price ?
where to get and get right install .

ths
