Hi Greg, are you looking to replace both the tweeter and midbass or just the midbass?

Actually Michael I'm looking at replacing the original speakers in all 4 doors, not the tweeters though.

you thinking WTF??? how many doors?

It's a celsior and I'm after nice clean sound with a bit of guts but no huge doof doof

I also need 8" woofer as the original is shagged

If I'm happy with the sound I will leave the head unit as is.
If not.....well then its going to be a can of worms
New HU new amps new wiring, getting dizzy already

BTW I love your 32. getting it from the anal King means its perfect!!!
lucky you :-)

Greg that looks sweet as mate!

As for decent 4" speakers, I'm going to beat Mark to it and recommend the Jaycar Response line. To many people are ready to write them off without actually hearing them first. I've done a few installs using them and everyone was more than happy with the results.

Cheers Greg, the 32 is going well as you would expect being from Hayden. I have to say your Celsior looks the business, the wheels are phat and the mufflers set it right off.

In regards to the 4" speakers, the best I have heard by a long shot are the Phass Alnico splits
http://www.phass.com/esp-32.html#A445 but they will cost you a pretty penny and it means replacing the tweeter as well. They do have a couple of 4" full range drivers which run from 80Hz-20kHz which would suit your install with an 8" sub nicely. Don't let their appearance fool you, they are a very capable and natural sounding speaker.
http://www.phass.com/esp-82.htm#FD0496 There are two types here, one with an alnico magnet the other with a ferrite magnet, I would go with the former.

They are distributed by the following company
CESAR Enterprise Pty, Ltd.

AUSTRALIA
Fax 8 93329190
URL http://www.cesarenterprise.com.au
E-Mail cesar@bigpond.net.au

The only other 4" speakers I have heard are from Alpine and Pioneer and while they are ok they are not going to blow your socks off with their sound quality.

Thanks
I will check them out individually.
Michael, tweeters sound nice and crisp so at this stage I would rather not replace them.
Those speakers look interesting 89db is efficient enough.

Don was the original many years ago 2 ohm pioneer too?

That's cool, if you want to keep the tweets you can just buy the midbass, you can always upgrade the tweeters down the track if you want to.

I'm not sure Greg, but if ewe do a search, there was a good thread from one of the Celsior dudes who'd replaced his one..............I think the Boss knows all the details about em as well.

For 4" components there is also always MB Quart. That's what I'm putting in my Soarer. Pricy but it is MB quart after all.

Ahahahahahahahaha, you crack me up good Don! In case you are being serious, they are speakers that cost about 6 times more than quite a few other brands and only sound marginally better

Ok so now MB Quart is being stupid so i'm switching to Rockford Fosgate 'Power' line for the interior speakers.

The T152S 5.25 components in front and the T162C 6.5 coaxials in the rear.

Should be even better.
