front speaker - which ones??
Anyone know which speakers I should go for to upgrade my Volvo front ones? I usually go for Pioneer or Alpine - whichever I go for I want them to fit OK so I can get the standard speaker cover grille on. Want a pretty good speaker but about £40 or so max (cheaper if poss.).
How difficult are they to change?
Any advice gratefully received as ever.

Wish Id known Alpine did some to fit mine!
OK,I use JBL.You can get these at Halfrauds for around the £35-£40 mark.
They're the ones with the swivelling tweeters.They bring the vocals out very strongly in tracks with,well,singing!
Alpine for all other Hi-Fi in mine though,and wish I knew these existed,at £48.99!!!

Wow - the Alpines look pretty smart but £50 is a bit over budget. Only an extra £10 mind - Decisions, decisions..............
Rytis - did you get the tweeters as well - did the speakers allow you to retain the existing door grilles?
Steve - did you use the Autoleads speaker adapter or do you not need it?
Some other options from Pioneer - anyone tried these?

No Autoleads connectors at all Cooper.
I just put spades on the end and connected up.
Not real garden ones naturally
