Title: Speakers - are these any good?
Post by: Cunning Plan on December 08, 2011, 12:53:56 pm
I need to replace the stock 5" ones as they have blown due to fitting a more powerful head-unit (cone glue was old).

These also look OK, but are a lower power:

Thoughts please? I need four. (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/chiny.gif)

Well my current thoughts are:

1. Must remember to shut the shed door in the wind
2. How much greif its going to be to re-hand shed door
3. Where the heck is the shed door
4. I think I stood in dog crap.

Best bet is googling the brands, I've only ever bought mainline brand speakers, trusting them too much probably. That or find some audio forums with personal reviews etc.

Never heard of them, so no...

I'd go with something like JBL (bit bassy) or Inifnity (not very bassy but very clear vocals, good if you have a sub somewhere) which you can probably pick up for around 30 or 40 quid a paid?

Are they for the momdeo?  I have a set of speaker adapters somewhere....

I was hoping to do it all a bit cheaper than that.. (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/sad.gif)

Roughly the price you were looking at.
Don't know if any good, but at least say JBL on them...

Awesome, they look good!
