Daughter wants a speaker upgrade on her KA does anyone think these will be any good? Ford KA Front Doors Speakers Mac Audio Slim Line Kit on eBay (end time 17-Nov-10 10:16:26 GMT)

or any other suggestions welcome

Cheers

They'll certainly be better than the factory fit items.

While you're changing them it would be worth fitting some sound deadening behind them, particularly if they're mounted in the doors. Also consider what's driving them - good speakers won't improve a poor source.

(Hope I'm not egg sucking teaching here BTW)

Well I'm not really wanting to alter the standard appearance of the car or spend a fortune on ICE - probably getting the best out of the standard head unit will be sufficient .

They will replace the standard speakers in the doors. What sort of sound deadening material is used for this sort of thing?



I wish some one would tell me how to suck an egg - I've never done it before

+1 on upgrading the head unit, aim for something like 45wx4 and you'll be well away

something like this GREY FORD KA REPLACEMENT CAR CD STEREO/RADIO/IPOD LEAD on eBay (end time 23-Dec-10 17:02:02 GMT)
Passion Automotive - GREY FORD KA REPLACEMENT CAR CD STEREO/RADIO/IPOD LEAD and the speakers above then?

From dim and distant days of messing about with ICE, better head unit is good starting point. Then try some sound deadening behind factory speakers. The head unit amp is often cause of bad sound (distortion etc). After that resonance from the panels. Having the ipod connection will probs make the sound seem better to her as she will have loads of new tunes to listen too. Might take pressure off messing on with speakers for a while until a car with better sounds can be found.

Why not simply insure her on your car and you drive the KA..........................................................
