urs4 front speaker upgrades

[diesel des]

As title, due to exhaust noise I could do with an upgrade. What size are the stock ones. What can be made fit that doesn't look max power. Cheers des

The oem frontspeakers are non-standard size, somehting between 5" and 5,25" (5,14" etc.). Here is a pic of a 4" DLS vs OEM. I did a downgrade from 5,14 to 4". Well, they sound better after all, luckily.



I made plug and play adapters for the 4" speakers to fit the OEM door enclosure.

/\ /\ /\ I bet they sound good?

[Thuppu]

Yes, clearly better than the stock ones. But they need a sub for the lower end.

very useful - I'm about to do this on mine!

were there any 5" speakers that would fit?

I managed to squeeze Edge 5.25", 130mm 210W component speakers in there - bought from sHalfords - they were a very good replacement at a competitive price!

[urS6Tom]

That's good to know - did you have to cut anything to get 'em in?

Do you know what's the biggest diameter you can get into the rear door cards?

cheers,
Tom

I had Audio In Motion in Bmth do it -they said they managed to squeeze them in.... it might take some minor massaging......but they fit and they are an ideal cost effective solution!

[DamianURS4]

you could just buy my door cards?????

[diesel des]

Good info guys. Do the edge speakers sound much better than stock. Did you mount the component tweeter in the stock position. Cheers.

[diesel des]

Is this the ones you used http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Edge-ED305...item45f94cb56e

[DamianURS4]

Yes - they are the ones - the tweeter sits nicely in the original sitting quite nicely - best to have a roll of tape handy!!!! Compared to std: night vs day - the original are good speakers but they have had their day - and were born before deep house trance!

Ok I have ordered a set. I'm going to power them of my 4 x 52 watt Sony head unit. Are yours amped. Cheers des.
