Hi all, have bought the autoleads speaker adaptors for the corsa, just wondering what speakers will comply with the limited depth available in the front doors? Am i right in saying the infinity 6005cs will? what other speakers will, would like to go for a 165/170mm if i can to get as much mid as possible, possibley not going to fit a sub!
Looking to spend around the £80-90 mark, cheers!

i was looking at the infinitys but i went to MCS in leicester and the guy said the infinities really screech at you and same with JBL. He reccomended Boston Acoustic ones but they are £140, cant really run to that, plus i dont think theyll fit.
I know a lot of people on here fit the infinitys, how are they? do you feel they are quite harsh on the high frequencies? Can they produce decent mid-bass too? not sure im going to be fitting a sub so want a half-decent thump from them!
Cheers

you will struggle to get speakers with a nice mid bass unit that will fit....
Boston however is a good choice, there new units use small magnets but still kick out the bass. You could do a lot worse.
Alpine R Types also kick, but they are harsh and dont fit in the doors...

the infinities will be a very tight fit.
but it will fit!
don't use the spacer rings on the speaker adaptor, and fit the 17cm speakers in.
I also trimmed down the speaker grill inner slates with a stanley knife, just to give the woofer a bit more clearance.

The Infinities are very harsh on the high frequences yes, BUT if you do it right by connecting the tweeter to the -3db terminal, it sounds muchos better

i decided to fork out the extra for the boston acoustic ones, £129.99 but can handle up to 150rms, and theyre supposed to give a good punch! you guys reccommend sound deadening? if so what areas of the car?
Plus, the amp i was going to power the speakers with i have just found out is 240rms per channel rather than the 180 i thought it was, so have bought another amp to run the components. Now i need to buy a sub, can you reccommend one? either 2 SVC or 1DVC sub, and the amp can run 240rms into each so 480rms in total! Was thinking maybe one 15", coz ill be getting a decent puch from the front, any suggestions will be appreciated though, cheers! Phil

What do you peeps make of the JLW0, just found 2xJL12W0 with MDF box for £159.99? Theyre only 125rms each which makes me think, well.....its very much below the norm, would they be able to take 240rms each? What sort of sound do thy give? Loud/puchy/boomy? never heard them so need some advice! cheers, phil
