Hi Stafford, bit the bullet and now have Focal front components 51/2 inch fitted including seperate tweeters and have JBL 4 by 6's rears fitted. Sounds great, having a JL cleansweep and amp fitted as soon as funds allow then watch out Norfolk.

nice one how did u find the rears to fit ..little bit fidgety at times arent they ..bet that sounds soo different..get some sound deadening matt off ebay and fully cover the underneath of the metal parcel shelve for even better sound. Im doing the doors today..2 full coats of this stuff.....

140024159012 ebay number

then when that is done its about £30 a door to fit some of this teklite stuff...

9702318315 ebay number

its a lot of work ..time and money but it will really pay dividends in less wind noise and tyre drone plus the sound system will be awesome... are you using a boxed subwoofer???

No not yet that's on the wishlist with the cleansweep and amp!
Nice sound deadening but a little pricey. Might scrunch up some old newspapers and glue them around inside of panels }{

wear gloves and take care with the stanley knife ..even after ten years the black gunk that holds the foam on was toxic it sticks to you like a tax collecter!!!
