front speakers

[damo m]

My car has a DAB Pioneer stereo with Pioneet speakers set into the side of the luggage area behind the seats. The speakers are not of a good quality and the radio reception is poor on DAB and useless on FM.

I wanted to upgrade the ICE and suspect that the radio reception would be improved by a better ariel or improved location/earthing. I have noticed a couple of cars with ariels on the boot but was not over keen on this idea. Has anyone got a better solution?

The location of the speakers is also an issue as again I have noticed that some cars have them set into the area under the rear screen (over the fuel tank?). Does anyone know if there is room for a decent base speaker in this bit?

Finally (!) my car is only fitted with 2 rear speakers. Does anyone have knowledge of the best place for a pair of fronts to be located?

Thanks. The Ariel looks quite discrete. Is it?

How much was it?

Thanks Rich. Dopes this completely transform your FM reception? Do you have a DAB stereo?
