UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

I've got a 2007 3 door 1.2 S Polo and the car only came with the original front speakers. I want to get some a bit more powerful, but have no idea what to get! Front, back, 6x9s? Just need some advice really. I want to keep the head unit and don't really want to spend too much!
I'd be grateful for any replies =)

Prob best to go down halfauds if you dont wan spend to much...

Will they recommend what speakers i should get then?

Say it didn't matter how much i spent, what would you suggest?

If proce didnt matter then, well you could spend silly money on high end gear.

On my other polo i went down to halfauds,told em what i wanted how much a had and they showed me what i could get and then i picked which sounded to the best to me...

Alpine Type R's

DONT go to Halfords, they have crap selection and will rip you off.

Look to get some 6.5" components for the front, if you have sillyness amounts of money then something like these will be lovely!

but if not, then the already recommended Alpine Type-Rs are a great choice.

Are you planning on running these just off your headunit or also looking to get an amp to run them?

Hey,

lol i certainly don't have a lot of money =( was only looking to spend max £100. Was probably going to run off the headunit, don't really want the boot filled with a sub! So you don't recommend halfords? Good thing I didn't go there then.....

Tim how hard is it to install an amp to run the speakers is it a case of connecting headunit to amp and amp to speakers?

Yeh, DONT go to Halfords.

If your budget is around £100 I'd strongly recommend getting those Alpine type-Rs, I've got them and they're great for the price. Ideally you'd want to run them off a seperate amp (for they perform better with a bit more juice in them), but they'll be just fine off the headunit.

Max - It's not that simple no.

An amp has one wire running to the positive terminal on your battery (with a fuse along the line), and another to a ground point of your car. It then has a remote lead that connects to your headunit (to tell it when to turn on), and an RCA lead connecting to the headunit. you then connect your speakers onto the correct terminals of the amp.

That's just a really basic and vague explaination, it's something you need to research before hand so you know what your doing, there's loads of info on the internet about how to set one up.

It's not that daunting though honest! Once you understand how it works its' well easy

So where do I get a sub? Which one is best?? This is why I didn't wanna get one lol. To be fair the speakers that came with the car aren't that bad.. if I just got speakers though would they be better than the ones i've already got?
Sorry i'm a useless girl

Yeh decent aftermarket speakers will be alot better than your standard ones,

caraudiodirect and caraudiocentre do great sub packages, just check out which ones are in your price range. Then it's a case of researching how to fit it, or paying a specialist to do it for you!
