Hi All, Apologies in advance for replicating what’s already been said a thousand times! The various threads have been really useful but I still have a few holes in my knowledge and would appreciate your collective assistance. I am a newbie to the club and a recent new owner of a fab GT86. Like many others, I’m underwhelmed with the speaker setup. I’m looking to purchase some In Phase XTC component speakers, https://www.maplin.co.uk/p/in-phase-xtc-6cx17cm-2-way-component-system-r52mq. Reviews are scarce but typically positive. Does anyone have them, or any experience of them? XTC6CX Speaker Specification * Peak input power : 300watts * Continous input power (RMS) : 60watts * Sensitivity (1W/1m) : 90dB * Frequency response : 45hz - 20khz * Nominal impedance: 4Ohm * Woofer magnet 10.97 oz * Mounting depth 62.1mm * Speaker size 17cm (6.5') * Cut-out diameter: 142mm My intention is to do a basic upgrade, as I’m not an audiophile or interested in waking the dead with my phat toons. I am happy enough with the head unit (at least for now). From what I already understand a lot can be gained from sound insulation and deadening, with the addition of some reasonable speakers. If I go with the component speakers do I need to purchase speaker adapters and or adapter leads for the tweeters, as I believe they have a pass through to the woofer in the door? My shopping list (purchased) looks like this: * Non marking tools http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CAR-RADIO-PIN-DASH-TRIM-REMOVAL-TOOL-SET-Non-Marking-Pry-Levers-Clip-Poppers/262742292067?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 * 6.5” MDF speaker adaptors http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-Auris-2007-165mm-6-5-MDF-Front-Speaker-Adaptors-Rings-Spacers/400914854581?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 * Silent Coat sound deadening for the doors http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Silent-Coat-2mm-10-Sheets-Car-Deadening-Vibration-Sound-Proofing-Damping-Mat/161282941044?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 * Sound insulation foam ring and matt https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Car-Audio-Deadener-Noise-Sound-Insulation-Mat-Speaker-Deadening-Material-Black/252202414088?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 * PC2 - 824 adaptor leads http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Autoleads-PC2-824-Speaker-Adaptor-Lead-Cable-For-Toyota/352224284082?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 Many thanks in advance.
