speakers

Hi mate if you fit rear speakers as already mentioned this will make an improvement. The old Boom Box as they used to be called in my boy racer days would make a huge difference if you want the bass.Even a small one makes a massive difference mate.Or you could try making a small parcel shelf with some 6x9 speakers mounted in it.
I used to have two 14 inch subs with a massive Amp fitted into an mdf carpeted box this is when I was 17 it used to shake the village to bits. Ha ha funny looking back.

i nicked the speakers from the house stereo and fitted them in my mini,MINT. :evil:

LOL @ Steve,yes been there done that in my boy racer days :laugh: :laugh:

I don't want booming bass,I know i'll never get that unless I put a big box in there but rooms a premium as it is.
I just want a better bass response than i'm getting right now,it really does sound sh1t !!

I've heard £5 stereos in mini metro's that didn't fart as bad :laugh:

Any improvement is welcomed so will definately move them from the front to behind the seats.

Cheers all for input and look forward to meeting some @ Burnley this Sunday!!
I'm the big lad in the black one,well one of the black ones

The best thing to do now you've got your nice speakers and head unit is to get some rear ones and fit those too. But also take off the door cards and anywhere there's space fit some sort of self adhesive matting to stop the panels vibrating as much, when they can vibrate some of the energy of the speaker is used to move the speaker rather than the air.

I'm just wondering if there's a cheeky way to fit a subwoofer and amp in the car. Maybe thinking also since it's a 4x4 that using audio designed for boats might be a good idea.

Get some self adhesive foam and put that between speaker and mounting surface. Stops the rattle inturn helps the bass

Well, from my experience: the fronts will not "boom boom" no matter what. I bought some of the most expensive 10 cm speakers available here; they sound great, but bass will not come out of a 10 cm speaker.

As said, add speakers in the rear mounts; a 13 cm speaker will fit, you just have to make new holes. I used bitumen-based self-adhesive insulation material to fill the gaps between the speaker lip and body in order to improve the "speaker box". Something like this:

It is better, but don't expect subwoofer-grade bass levels.
