After sale USB connection and speaker upgrade

[adam.smith]

Hi all,

As the great British 'summer' is a bit closer I want to upgrade my sound system in My 08 Leon FR.

I have seen some recommendations for speakers but the posts were a while ago. What are the latest and greatest speakers for the car that can handle some bass? I don’t want anything in my boot and I would like to keep the standard head unit installed.

As I am a non techie when it comes to vehicles do you know a good place to get speakers fitted around the Milton Keynes area?

Also I would like to get the USB connection fitted (if possible). Does any one know if it supports the Zune (Microsoft version of the IPod).

Thanks everyone!

Adam

I'll just tag onto this as I'm looking at doing the same.

Any low/mid range speakers that can replace the OEM ones keeping oem tweeters?

jbl's new ones are designed to run off the headunit with a low impediance.

Id go for them. Thinks they are 80 quid a set.

I always found that the tweeters were the biggest issue. I put in the Infinity as posted elsewhere and was over the moon with them. They are components but with the tweeter attached! I have front and rear sets and fitting kits if your interested PM me!

Sounds good. Have you got a model number for them and where did you pick your ones up from?

Thank you,

Adam

Those arent components they are called coaxials, and imho infinitys are crap. I have infinity comps in my ibiza and they produce no bass whatsoever. Quite a few guys have commented on this also.

oops sorry showing my ignorance there!!!

I always found them ok the doors would rattle before the bass broke up with a range of music. Could never be as good as a decent pair of 6x9's or similar but for general every day use they are 4,000,000 times better than the :w4nk: that Seat put in as standard they really are pants. My Missus old Lupo had better speakers!!!!
