5th gen front speakers.

Yea was cutting the mounting rim, been looking and it seems 16cm is the size to go for. The vibes were 17cm and just a little to big for the standard mount locations.

You just changing the door speakers or the backs and tweeters too?

Door speakers and poss tweeters, rears dont really care about as there 6x9's and all 6x9's are rubbish.

Oem 5th gen acoustic feedback system is brilliant. Full music from the front and active acoustically equalized and bandpassed rear speakers so to high frequency comes from behind and does not drag the soundstage back. Most people remove the rear and put full range in the back and think it sounds better because it's now playing high notes but you have then defeated the point of a propper sound system.

Newkid. I could probably make use if the cables. I'll send you some money over.

Ah, so upgrading the fronts and leaving the rears is the best option?

Mine just sound so limp. They can't handle any sort of bass note. I don't think the head unit is doing them any favors which is why I'll change that before I change them as I've done everything in my power with the stereos menu options to get a better sound.

Always upgrade the front before the rear.
Sound deadening will make the biggest difference though.

Think Iv added 25kg of deadening to the lude. But did remove oem deadening.

I never realised how poor the sound deadening was till I got it back after borrowing a mates TT. The road noise, especially when wet was so different. Almost sounded like I had no doors at all. Original sound deadening difficult to get rid off?

Sound deadening won't make much difference to road noise, unless you go all out. Tyres, suspension and build quality and materials used make that difference.

Oem deadening comes off when frozen and smashed. Ie dry ice. Easy.
