[@infidelcastro5129]

Nice work, but I’m still going to push my whiny opinion that the little speaker upgrade, plus 6x9s on the parcel shelf, plus a sub/amp under the wife-seat makes 100x difference whilst costing not much over £150 all-in. I appreciate that’s not within everyone’s budget, but it’s certainly worth considering if one’s budget permits 😊 Nice nails, btw.

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Oh yea of course mate, you’ve seen the Audio vids I’ve done on the blue C1 haven’t you? All the stuff I’ve used in that shitbox was cheap lol. Upgrading these speakers is the minimum upgrade required to make the stereo even listenable tbh lol.

[@joebloggs3629]

My Wagon R has these mini tweeters on the dash and also I've fitted them in the rear roof as they were just 2 holes a speaker grill and wiring put in at the factory, I put FLI speakers in the quality is just to say better than stock, I have found if you cut a car cleaning sponge up and place it below the speaker you get a bit better sound quality, it might be worth an experiment. I wasn't expecting dolby surround sound but it's ok. Happy new year mate all the best 👍

Have you come across anything a little higher spec that will work with the original system? I’m looking to get the best sound I possibly can without changing the system or wiring extra speakers anywhere (I’m an idiot and this will only end badly!) Cheers

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

@@darrenpratt8803 the main thing you’ve got to check for is if the magnet in the back will fit in the hole in the dash if you go for higher spec/more powerful ones. If you’re using the original stereo though it’s possibly not a good idea to go for higher spec speakers as the stereo probably isn’t really powerful enough to drive them properly as I think it’s only about 10 watts rms per channel. I could be wrong though 🤔

[@BeckOfficial]

You can increase the sound "quality" a bit on the original speakers by setting the bass to +5 and treble to +3

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

You can, I show that in another vid too

[@Gourmondise]

The Pioneer set that you installed in the blue C1 is okay but not as a front one. I have upgraded the dash speakers to the Pioneer 3 way set - which is technically the same shit as your JCV but with a different sticker. I've done the shelf with two 5.25" 2 way speakers and an underseat sub from the same family. The sound quality is significantly better than with the stock speakers. All in all I love your content so keep it coming!

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Nice one mate. I put 5.25” Edge ones in the rear of the blue C1. It’s all mix and match of whatever I could get cheap, but it works ok!

[@Gourmondise]

@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos yeah I have seen your setup and apart from the Monster sub I liked it. I need the boot space hence I opted for the underseat sub, plus I wanted to keep the windows in place.

[@Gourmondise]

@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos on that note, do you think I can wire 6 speakers and a sub to the factory head unit? Or will it just fry everything?

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

@@Gourmondise it’s not bad for a budget setup but I’m debating putting a better one in and amping everything like I have in my younger days lol. I used to have a V70 T5 with 4 12” subs and 6 speakers including a pair of boxed vibe squares 6x9 on the rear shelf, but I had a powerful head unit and the 6x9 were amped. I think on the bugs, the factory head unit is just as much of a weakness as the oem speakers tbh. When adding more speakers you can wire them series or parallel. Parallel is louder but lower resistance, so more likely to overload the amp. The aftermarket speakers are already lower resistance than the oem ones but unlikely to cause issues alone. If anything it’s likely to blow a fuse or trip out before it blows anything up, but to be on the safe side and for better sound you’d be better with a little amp tbh. Sorry for long winded response, just read it back and I don’t half waffle some shit sometimes 🤷‍♀️

[@simongreen525]

Great job dude. My Aygo has the little tweeter on the windscreen pillars. You think they would need replacing ?

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Those are the better factory speakers. The tweeter is in the dash and the midrange/woofer is in the door. I’ve never heard them in person to compare though.

[@Gourmondise]

Thanks to your great videos now I have 3 pair of speakers in my Pug. Two 4" on the dash, two 5.25" in the front doors and two 6.5" on the parcel shelf. (And the underseat sub) And everything works just fine, and if something I can get away with lower volumes due to the closer proximity of the door speakers! Here is a theoretical question - If I was bored and want to fit another pair of 5.25" in the rear doors will that work in your opinion? And as always your videos and knowledgeable answers are highly appreciated!

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Cheers mate. You could make it work, but there’s a couple of things to take into consideration. Firstly how you’re gonna power them. Sometime you can just wire extra speakers in the same outputs as the others, but it alters the resistance. If you wire 2 speakers of the same resistance in series, you add them together so it doubles it. The same 2 in parallel it halves it. Best idea is to a mom them but it’s a bit more dicking about. Also, when adding more and more speakers you’ve got more chance of wiring them out of phase, which can actually reduce the bass so that’s something to keep in mind.

[@Gourmondise]

@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos thanks for the reply. I did tested the system for phase and everything checks out. I also meticulously followed the same wires and tapped into the right ones so all good. I may just buy another pair of 5.25"s and see how it goes. Worst case scenario I buy a cheap 50 quid 4 channel amp and re-wire the whole thing. Also, also - do we or will we have a page/site/insta forum something to share and discuss these? I think you have enough subs to form a small community, least this is how I feel!

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

@@Gourmondise let me know how it goes. I’ve got an Insta page and a Facebook page, but neither of them are particularly good 😂

Hello, I enjoy watching your videos so keep up the good work! I purchased the same JVC speakers as your ones for my Peugeot 107 and an adapter from ebay but for some reason these JVC speakers sound worse than the OEM ones currently installed!!! I changed the left speaker first and tested it against the OEM using the stereo balance as per your instruction, the right OEM one sounded much better than the left JVC one I installed. The JVC one appeared to have less sound and much less bass. I used an adapter so the wiring should be correct. Any ideas please? Cheers
