Replacing door speakers

[John Wakely]

Bought a Laguna Blue 94 1.8 a few months back and am thrilled with it. Now
looking to improve the audio system . There were no headrest speakers so
fitted some 4" Pioneers from Parallelimported with very good results . My door
speakers are not much chop though, one original and one odd sized replacement
. I am looking to put some new 6.5" dia. in to replace them . I don't want to
spend a million dollars as, after all it is a convertible and the best music
comes from the engine and exhaust . A couple of contenders are either Alpine
SPS 170A's or JBL GTO 626's , both about $89 a pair. Does anyone have any
recent experience of replacing door speakers, or any comments on what gives
good results in an MX5 ?

personally l think get what you pay for l brought
pioneeres for same price and to me sound bad..
ave got pioneer head unit. l actually say get a amp..
l dont have one in the mx5 did old car, and they beef
up the sound even low levels ,, because no matter what
say u cant good sound with little unit that fir into
cd player. just my opion,

l think with good set 6 .5 say yellow carbon pioneers
and say small sony xplode amp it sound really good,
thanks for info on the rear head rest speakers, did
you have to cut any padding out to fit..
l was thinking a sub but as boot soo umm small maybe
whouldint be needed with amp anyways

Hi,

I am about to pull out the Air conditioning from my NA MX5. (I need to make
room for the intercooler - sweeeeeet!)

It is in perfect working condition and will be a fairly easy (I think)
installation into a non-Aircon'ed car.

If any one is interested in it please just let me know.

Chris
