speaker recommendation

Post by 360beast » 08 Aug 2014 09:12 pm

If anybody wants to fit new high quality speakers but want to keep the original look ie 4" speakers behind the original covers then these are perfect.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pioneer-TS-G1 ... 5d4ab5b6fb

I've fitted a set front and rear and ran them in for 15 hours, this is the first time I used them properly today after the run in period and I'm very impressed. The clarity is spot on even with the "loud" button pressed and the tone set 3/4 to bass (sounds weird if anymore) on my CR-201 has enough bass for the doors to shake and no matter how loud I turned it up they didn't distort.

I was just testing them I wouldn't have it anywhere near that loud when driving :lol:

Yeah Logan the running in definitely makes a difference, so impressed with these if you want a set I can post them out to you.

I would have liked to keep the original speakers but the cones had disintergrated :(

The only decent speakers I could find in NZ were the free pioneers I took out of my brothers Alfa 33 before it went to the scrappy :lol:

I know the rhyming slang. It was the lamest of lame deaf gag.

I'll get my coat.

Ah, that's quite funny actually - and as usual I'm the butt of my own jokes ;-)

Actually, I've never heard anyone in London use that phrase - it seems to be mainly a west-country thing.

Why is it that the correct use of rhyming slag seems to be forgotten and is almost always used wrongly.

for example.

Please may I have a look at that should be "give us a butchers" and you don't say the hook at the end.

and

Phone uncle Charlie would be "dog uncle Charlie" again not saying the and bone.

If you say the rhyming word then it is no longer a code

Man, as usual you're Hank Marvin for logic when I fear there isn't much in the field of rhyming slang...
