Help... Where can you get spekers to fit my Disco

(1/2) > >>

Big Rich:
I have a 1991 200 Tdi and need new front spekers.  :idea:  I know they are 13cm but the depth is a problem with after market spekers. :?   My head unit it a Sony Md Changer with 4 x 50w outputs. Where can I get spekers to fit that will handle the watts? :?:

Music Junky:
Most head units rarely put out 50 watts!   they normally mannage about 16 watts.
Speakers need to be driven and if they say 50 watts output then get an amp that can push out a little over 50 watts so your speakers can be driven properly.
Its like a hifi system and the speakers say 100 watts and you buy an amp that is 50 watts ? you wont be giveing the speakers the correct power and you will be under driveing them.
As for the disco speakers go to your local car audio shop and show them the speakers, they should be able to find some decent quality ones that will fit your disco.
Stock speakers are normally rubbish and need to be replaced by quality ones, and then you will hear sounds you have never noticed before.
Most people just have a pair of quality speakers in the front and a sub in the back for bass, the speakers in the front will be loud inuf for the front and rear passengers.
Im doing the same but ive got two pairs of 6-9s and an amp to drive the speakers properly, later i will get a sub and just have a front pair of quality speakers.
Hope this helps

the front door speakers on mine are 10cm not 13

you need to take into consideration the cover for the speaker too and the depth it can take..

these are the ones i fitted

Hi there - I also have a Sony thats 4x50w and my JBL's are rated at 50w but they still dont sound great ( I only have a set in the frount door's) I have not conected the tweeters ( if thats what you call the ones at the top of the door's) I am looking for some thing to replace them and also to replace the ones at the back on the pillars by the back door.

Any one got any good idea's for these?

Thanks

Music Junky:
If your wanting to replace the speakers then a good make to test would be Alpine.
Ive talked to a lot of people and nearly 90% have alpine installed audio systems.
In your disco you have four speakers and two tweeters, the tweeters produce the treble frequencies like high hats and high ranges and the rest prodcue the bass frequencies like kicks and bass.
If your tweeters are not connected ? then your system will sound poor, but you can replace the tweeters for better ones and also replace the stock speakers in your disco.
If you can take the speakers out and go to your local car audio shop and ask them for a good quality set like alpine that will fit your disco.
Also when you turn your system up and it seems to distort ? its not distorting its becouse your system hasant got inuf power to power them.
Its always better to get an amp just above the speaker imput rateing so it can power them properly and then when you have an amp ? you will notice a bigg difference in volume and sound.
