Hi Guys, I know this has been covered alot but nothing recent so here goes,

one of my rear speakers has started to crackle so I am going to upgrade the front speakers then put one of the ones i remove from the front into the back to replace the crackling speaker,

What i am wanting to know is what is a decent speaker to fit at the moment, Wanting to spend a max of £60 or less really and seen both of the below but am unsure tbh of what is good and not at the moment so any help would be appreciated.

https://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product_m-alpine-sxe-1750s_p-20265.htm (would only use the speaker and not the tweeter)

http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/spe...reference-6502ix-16-5cm-135w-coaxial-speakers

also as speaker depth's vary a lot is there a recommended depth to fit or with the sak-3103 adapters will most fit fine. and what screws do i need to get to fit the adapters to the door, is there a recommended size or width to stop this interfering with the window when it is down.

last question, Is it worth using any kind of sound deadening while I am doing this?

Thanks for any response and advise in advance

hi mate

i would recommend components all day long, not hard to swap the tweeter over whilst your doing the doors anyway and will make a big difference.

i would look at

something like those over the ones you've posted.

budget for deadening will depend whether you bother tbf, I've done none to full car deadening and yes it makes a difference.

screws will depend on where the mounting points are, if they go into the original holes just check what size the hole is and get something countersunk.

hope that helps
