Audio system upgrade, GH Sigma SE
Posted: Mon Jun 14, 2010 4:44 pm
Hey guys and gals,
I'm after some help/advice with upgrading the speakers and head unit in my GH Sigma SE.
So far I've mounted my head unit but have not wired it up. I've done these on other cars before, so I shouldn't run into too many troubles there. (Hopefully )
Replacing the factory fitted 4" front door speakers (for the 'optional' tape deck) should be easy, using 6" speakers with spacers, therefore I don't need to cut a larger hole and there is still clearance behind the speaker for the window to wind down fully.
Rear speakers though, are my hassle. I noticed today that the 'parcel shelf' has cutouts to install speakers, they just need to be removed. And these cutouts line up with the larger holes in the rear firewall. This is good, as the boot will act as a resonator.
It seems that the biggest speaker size I could use in the rear would be around 6" with spacers, but has anyone on here used anything larger?
I have a pair of 6"x9" speakers from my old car that I would like to use, but there's not a lot of room back there, especially because its the SE model with the adjustable rear seats.
Also I will have to run my wires to the rear.
Does anyone have any photos of their setup I could see?
Thanks guys, I'll put up some pics when I'm done
