658656 2008-04-14 11:05:00 Evening team.

The time has come for some new speakers in the front of my Bluebird. Not being one for huge modifications to the interior, I'm hoping to get some nice 5x7s that will fit in the factory mounts.

I'm looking at some of these (www.bignoise.co.nz) at the moment, just wondering if anyone has any experience with those, or recommendations for others? :punk

- Must be 5"x7"
- Mounting depth no deeper than 62mm
- 50w RMS or more
- Not keen on Fusion

TIA :cool:

658659 2008-04-14 22:17:00 Had a car with them in a while back... sounded like crap.

It wasn't the headunit, I'm still using that headunit lol, just didn't like them, didn't perform well compared to other brands that were the same price of cheaper. I use Kenwood or Pioneer as a rule, and I like Sony headunits, but just didn't like my past experience with Fusion.

Thanks for that Deathwish. I like JBL Loudspeakers and marine audio, I'd expect their car audio to be the same.

658660 2008-04-14 23:48:00 Not a really common size Wratterus - but yeah, those JBL's would be fine. Put some Pioneer 5x7's in my brothers car recently and they're really nice too.

Don't worry literally about the 50w thing either - 50w x 4 from a head unit is pretty much impossible anyway ;)

658661 2008-04-15 00:12:00 Thanks nofam, yeah I know the headunit is completely incapable of producing 50w x4. :p But even so, I like the RMS ratings to be the same or greater than the output of the headunit. Peace of mind, you might say. :o

I think I'll go for those JBLs, I also like the fact you can rotate the tweeter, point it up, instead of your feet enjoying the best quality of sound. :lol:

Thanks for your help. :banana
