yep i know what ya mean but music stirs the sole as much as a V8 , playing your favourate track (bit of floyd or Zep) just adds to the whole experiance

That would be soul then would it?
Didn't know fish liked music

Going slightly "off subject" should I fancy a bit music while I'm washing or working on the car will I do any harm leaving ignition on ?
Was told many years ago it can damage ignition coil but would that still be the case with modern electronic systems ?
Did find an article while back about modifying ignition switch to get auxillary position working, worth doing ?

The speakers look good, and I'm interested because I'm looking to replace mine. Did they fit straight in? I notice they are 13cm and I thought the holes were 16cm ...?
Must admit I haven't checked though.

But they have there use's like sitting at a constant speed on a motor way ect it's nice to have some music.

I put sony Xplods in mine 16cm bit tight but do the job fine.

I re-wired mine to work without the key in the ignition. I just fed it from the battery via a secondary fuse box that I installed - dead easy.

Yes I was. Many thanks for replying. I'll be getting some. I was just puzzled by the apparent disparity in sizes.

The rear ones might have to cut out,I don't know the stock standard size, as mine were already fitted with 6x9's

Mine had a non-functioning stereo when I got it, but much as I love the sound of the V8, it does become rather wearing on a long journey so I got a new head unit. Need to replace the speakers now so I'll be watching this with interest too.

They look nice word of warning just be careful some amps/head units wont drive a 2 ohm load and you will damage the output stage along with the warranty,4 ohm is the norm and unless your equipment says otherwise beware or seek advice from the seller
