A tenuous link but still...

This is really an excuse just to post a message and is nothing to do with the sacred Ford Transit but I might as well ask something someone might be able to answer.

Sounds like I've blown one of my tiny front door speakers from too much Metallica at too high a volume. Now I'm sure the only sound most of you lot like to hear when cruising down the motorway is the sweet melodic tone of a finely tuned engine but the sound of a screaming 1.1 Metro isn't music to my ears. So I'm looking for some shelf speakers at the cheap end of the market which can handle high SPLs but most importantly give the best quality sound for the money. I know my stuff with regards to Hi-Fi or studio PA but can't find any decent sites for reviews on car speakers.

I'm sure it's a case of the bigger the better so perhaps people on here have fitted some beauties to their Transits because there's plenty of room. Anyone?

Ah Will Welcome old chap, i thought for a moment you'd decided to bin the old rover rust heap and join us in the joys of blue oval ownership!

For anyone who doesn't know Will is my brother-in-law and responsable for setting up this board for us Cheers

I havent got a clue about your speakers tho!

[madmark]

well done will i was thinking of what to say about the ,metro ha ha

[FredTransit]

Nice board, shame about the car!!!

[will]

Beggers can't be choosers and it's not so bad. Ask Luke, he has fond memories of throwing it around though will probably deny all knowledge now.

Will. halfords may do the speakers you are looking for unless they've stopped them now, but they used to do custom fit speakers that are designed to fit in the crap little spaces that manufacturers provide
but handle more power than standard speakers, the one's i bought were
blaupunkt (not for a metro though).

[will]

Demoed all of Halfords speakers and none are worth the money given the quality. So, it's time for a sub and a bit of ingenuity!

well done will i was thinking of what to say about the ,metro ha ha

metro ??..... ah yes, that thing that fits neatly into the back of a deceit long lwb tranny on its next trip to the breakers yard ... or maybe if your worried about that prized garden wall you have .... you place it at the end of the driveway and use it as a "bumpstop" for when your misses is reversing in

I always make it a point to never drive anything that will fit in the back of one of our Lutons! And less of the comments about women reversing, thank you very much!!
