Yes, it’s worth it, but the upgrade is limited unless you do a full install.
The factory speakers are very poor though, so even an upgrade on those is beneficial. But as you are aware, then the HU is the limiting factor without Amped power. It mainly depends on what sort of expectations you have and what you’d like to spend. You can get a decent upgrade for some money, but to upgrade a lot then it can get costly.

Thanks, figured that would be the case. I’m in the process of finishing off sound deadening and re-carpeting. Saw the speakers at £80 a pair and figured I’d stick them in for now. Then once everything else is done potentially look at a double din and some more hardware. 😎

Even just on the front, you will notice the difference

That’s what I was hoping. They arrive today
![]() Once I finish the sound deadening in the rear I’ll get ones for the back too. Thanks everyone |

Sound deadening is an improvement in itself, as it reduces ambient noise and resonation.
So that increases perceived dB output from your speakers anyway, which of course is an improvement in SQ as well. Carpeting, in your case or light foam on top helps as well. ![]() Those specs on those speakers are pretty good for what you can get, pretty much as much as you can get safely from HU power only. Just beware the HU itself is free to vent heat. ![]() ⛽️🛢️⚙️🧰💪 |

I try not to write it down, as every time I do it’s out of date within minutes. There’s always something to keep you out of trouble 😂 2009 Stornaway Grey Puma Build Thread
