Hi all.
I have a BA MKII XR8 Magnet ute and would like to upgrade the sound quality a little. I do not want to add head units, amps or subs. I only want to change the speakers out to give a more defined quality. I am still learning about the BA and am not sure if it has premium sound. How do I tell if it has? Anyway, after those rambleings, can someone suggest somewhere around Newcastle that knows what they are talking about with car audio that can send me in the right direction? |

OK, job done.
Called Wayne at Andrews Car Audio in Jesmond on a reccomendation from the local auto lekky. Explained my problem to him over the phone and he just laughed! "The speakers they put in the fords are cheap and nasty" was the reply. He said the head wasn't too bad and simply by replacing the 4 speakers I would be blown away by the difference. Forget putting an amp on it to start with as it will not improve the sound quality with the standard head. Said he had done heaps of them. Anyway, went down and had some Pioneer TS-A6963E 6 x 9" 3 ways put in the back and Pioneer TS-A5713 7 x 5" 2 ways put in the front under his reccomendation. All i can say is WOW. The sound is now crisp and clear. Coming home I had the volume up to 26 and the base was shaking the rear view mirror on the windscreen with no sound distortion. It is still not the perfect sound, but the improvement is 10 fold. The only way to get better quality is to go the whole hog - head, amp, sub, ect. Best part is the whole deal cost me $380.00 installed. No stuffing around and 1 1/2 hours later I drove out. |
