Adding front speakers to a racetech

[faithless]

Hi, ive done a search on ice and although there is plenty of info on replacing existing speakers and megga installs i cant seem to find any info on just adding an extra 2 to the front of my s2

Been to a store today and a 4" with grille on doesnt sit flush, can you buy the Lotus panels with the grilles in place or are these ££'s? Mine has Alpine units at the rear that sound 'ok' are there benefits to replacing them with something like a focal component system? The head unit is a 4x40w VDO cd unit.

Am I just wasting my time coz I'll never hear it anyway?

Thanx in advance

front speakers really do help - you can get panels and grille kit from a Lotus dealer ...the wiring is already there

wouldnt bother with expensive speakers unless you are going to get a high-powered head unit or fit a seperate amp.....

Thanx, are the lotus bits expensive? Im not looking for a megga instal with amps and subs just fancy being able to actually hear the hifi when driving.
It doesnt sound bad but think a couple more speakers will make the world of difference. I have the 165mm alpines which i believe are the better units lotus used at one point?

dont think so - £40-60 springs to mind ...yes the Alpines are the best theyve ever fitted and certainly more than up to the job of coping with what the head unit puts out....

Is it then just a standard 4" speaker?
