Car Door Speakers - Group buy?

[tommysb]

I'm thinking about trying to upgrade the door speakers in my 340, with some fairly cheap coaxials from the 'states. Shipping would be $40, which on a pair of $20-40 speakers, isn't worth it.

I was going to go for either the pioneer or legacy speakers on this page:

(I've used parts express before, they're pretty good, and a well known supplier for loudspeaker components).

Would anyone be interested in ordering together, to minimise shipping costs per item? The cost would be calculated at:
Cost of item in USD, converted to £.
Proportion of the shipping cost, depending on how many people want in
possible 20% import tax
Postage from me to you. (unless you want to collect)

I'd estimate, that a pair of $15 speakers would cost £10 in USD. Possibly £12 if import tax is applied (not sure how customs decide that), + postage. So worst case, about £20.

I'm looking for good 4" coaxials in the UK at the moment too... this is just one option for a door speaker upgrade. (Almost anything will be better than the factory speakers!)

They sound like good value if you can get a few people interested. Don't know much about speakers, are the factory fitted ones just a single cone?

I have a pair of kenwood coaxials in the doors, which sound really good! bear in mind I use them driven off a seperate amp with 2 vibe 6x9s, 2 jbl gto1000 subs driven from a legacy 1000 amp!
