Speakers for a Tamora?

[chris watton]

Does anyone know if I can easily upgrade the speakers only,, (there seems to be only 2 located on the rear bulkhead)?
The sound is very tinny, to say the least, compared to the Chims sound from the speakers,, but the Chim had speakers in the doors also,, the Tam hasn't!

If anyone could point me in the right direation for speaker upgrades that I can just take the useless ones out, and put better ones in,, that would be much appreciated

Cheers

Thanks for that Aroma ,, where did you get the new speakers from?, and what about the extra wireing needed for the sub, was that straight forward?

Thanks steve ,, I will pop into Halfrauds and see if I can find a decent pair of 8" speakers,,,,,, what about the wireing for the tweeters, and how did you fix them,, just screw them in?

Chris

(why are the original speakers so cheap and tinny in the first place for these cars!!!)

Thanks for all the great suggestions guys ,, (Maddog,, it must be torture having to wait so long for your gorgeous yellow Tam (colour was my first choice also).
I have just bought some Pioneer TS-A131C 13 cm speakers and tweeters ,, but,, with no apparent instructions, not quite sure what goes where.,,, well,, it seems pretty straight forward, apart from the wire and connectors from the tweeters to the speakers doesn't seem to be quite long enough to fit in the dash, (have about 1.5 metres).
I shall have a go later, when I'm brave enough!! speakers in a 5K Clio are better than the TVR standards!!!

Chris

PS,,, whats the best SatNav you can have for the TVRs? (I am the exact opposite of a homing pidgeon!!!!)

OK,, have now put in the (much) larger 13cm speakers in, didnt even have to make the hole already there any larger! I have left out the tweeters for now, as I haven't a clue as to the best way to run the wireing, plus the fact that the walls inside the bulkhead is very sticky! Sounds a lot better now though!

[chris watton]

Thanks very much for the great replies, and very helpful, as usual
I didnt realise you could take off the rear bulkhead carpet to reveal the internal wall!
The tweeters are, according to the drawings, to be connected to the connecting rods on the main speakers!, if I do that,,, the wire would need to run from the back of the car to the front! I may get them put in professionally, as I seem to have a negative Midas touch when it comes to stuff like that! lol

I keep meaning to take a decent pic of my Tam for my profile,, but the weather has been against me since buying the thing!!! lol
