Audio system

[beastx5]

hey fellow fiesta fanatics,

I'm new here and have just bought a brand new LX 5-door, due monday.

just wondering if anyone has tried upgrading their audio system and what sorta of speakers you could install into the doors of the fiesta.

cheerz for any comments or suggestions.

The factory speakers are 5x7" in size which limits your choice, unless you make up some adapter plates to fit 6" splits (as i and others have done).

I'm running the 6" splits up front off a 4ch amp thats is bridged for a 12" sub as well all off the factory head unit, it's an OK - Good set up, but by no means fantastic.

Ive done the whole thing. Got a new dash ordered in from the UK to convert it from double DIN to Single DIN, its fantastic and looks stock.

6.5inch splits in the front and rear running off a 4chan amp, 12inch sub off a monoblock.

hey adsy, what head unit are u using? sorry im new to all this audio stuff. would installing 2 sets of 5x7's work? along with an amp of some sort?

and also, would the ipud/mp3 input work still work with a new head unit?

cheerz

i'm using the factory head unit that came out in the WP Zetec. I want to upgrade it as it's not the best, but it is good. I also don't want to loose the remote control stalk either...


I orginally had JL audio 5x7s in the front which sounded heaps better than the factory speakers, but they sound no where as good as the 6" splits sounds. I plan on putting my JL Audio 5x7's into the rear when i get a chance to pull it apart.

the ipod/mp3 input wont work with a new head unit, you'd have to get one with that option and use its lead/plug set up.
