Speaker Upgrade...

Simian · 28 Feb 2006 at 14:49

I've just bought a Rover 214si (1996 P-Reg) as a 'Runaround' to get me too and from work, but I'm a little dissapointed in the ICE in the car!...

It's still got the original Rover 'Cassette' player/Radio and Crappy Speakers!...

So I'm looking to (not spending too much) upgrade!... Now remembering its only a Workhorse, I'm looking at the H&B CA-5555 HU from OcUK!... but I think I also need Speakers!...

Does anyone know what size the Front and Rear speakers are in this car!?... I've tried googling but can only find the 'Old' Wedgie Rovers!, Not my nice Bubble!

Plus any recomendations on Speakers, again not too expensive!!! - No Amps, 6x9's or cutting!!!... Just strait OEM Fitment!!, would be welcome!..

Cheers
Sim

Don't bother, its only a work horse, leave it that way

But I've no Tapes!... Loads of CD's/MP3 Discs and a cuple of SD Cards!...

I need my music whilst driving!..

and the Radio (content wise!) is just Crap!!!... I hate R1 and R2 is for old farts (don't get me started on Local Radio!!)

Upgrading to a cheap HU then changing the speakers to better ones is going to be a waste of time, the SQ difference with such a low powered amp will be limited.

I think at least one of the speakers are blown!... I'm no basshead but I can get em rattling badly with medium volume (enough to hear over the motorway noise) ans 'Chris Moyles' in the morning!... only looking for summut of slightly better quality!...
