speakers and head unit

[cdt]

I know most people never want any music in the wedge other than the V8 but some music would be nice when driving in heavy rain on the m'way.

What size are the standard speakers behind the seats? Are there any recomendations for good replacements(without having to cut bigger holes etc)?

Will any head unit fit in the wedge, it looks like the pioneer tape head unit (standard I think) doesn't fit properly. The wedge bible implies the connections aren't standard?

Head unit is standard din, so most units should fit it. You could have anything from a cassette player to a dvd player / screen if you wished.

As for speakers from what I remember they were fairly standard sixe and halfords had many suitable replacements ranging from poor to good quality.

I have a Kenwood MP3 player in mine with 4 Kenwood speakers , 2 in normal rear and 2 somewhere in the front. So sounds reasonable and is a must for doing long journeys or stuck in traffic !

Guy called keri will be at BBWF showing off his brake upgrade kit - also has some really small but powerfull speakers to market. See him there they look really good.

Got a Pioneer jobbie in mine and I can drown out the zorst (well, from the inside). Standard speaker size it would seem. Doors and parcel shelf.

Thanks.

Are the speakers likely to be 13cm or 17cm?

I will have a look later. But certainly look like standard (that is holes havn't been altered from new)

I have just had 4 x 13cm JBL speakers installed, together with an Alpine headunit that I can plug my IPOD into. Sounds the absolute muts nuts

I put a plexi wind baffle in (which really cuts down the buffeting and improves the disposition of Mrs Grady) and now I can't hear my rear speakers unless I'm stopped. Other than the doors, what is the best location and size for speakers in the front of the cockpit? Thanks Grady

Mine are at the bottom front of the doors, i.e. near your feet. They sound great.
