Upgrade speakers (Alpine, focal or others)
Hi,

First, sorry for my poor english, I'm french Bow down

Second, this is my first topic. I owned a 90 (year 2010). For the moment, my def is stock. But, looking this forum, the modifications come quickly.

I have changed the head unit for an Alpine UTe-93DAB. I want a better sound with a coorrect budget and any modifications.

Many post talk of speaker upgrade. Even with search option, I don't find what I search.

Is it possible to replace the LR speaker by x4 alpine or focal (PC 100) without wiring modification just plug and play?

The focal upgrade is a pretty standard upgrade and makes a very noticeable difference, and yes it is a simple swap over. MUD UK sell kits, but given that Focal are a french company, you should be able to find plenty of supply closer to home.

Don’t forget sound deadening as well though to get the most out of the system.

Thanks for the advice.

The def is my second car. I think For a little best song, it's good.

I don't want install an Amp or a sub.

For you, 4 focal PC 100 (rear and front) is a good choice or alpine serie G or S is good too?

I want just unscrew the LR and fit new speakers without modifications of wiring or dash. I reserve my budget for suspension and twisted parts Embarassed

I’ve got focal speakers all round, no changes to the wiring required. These for the front:

Do the rears fit direct into the original speaker panels?

I think they are different sizes front and rear. You don’t need an amp to fun the focal speakers. I don’t and the sound is great.

But you do need to enlarge the rear panel apertures to accommodate the 5.25" PC130's right? Or buy the replacement alternatives from Mud Question Rob

Did you just get the basic PC100 not the one with the tweeters?

That's what I have been considering for mine. ---
