Hi, I have used these speaker in pretty much every car I've had, so I find them really really good, create a great quality sound. I must warn you, that fitting them to the front is a bit of a pain due to the plastic surround that is installed by pug from factory, but once you chop this out so they fit and also use a mount of 20mm then they fit lovely and are a pleasure to my ears. The back fits in straight away like a glove.
Currently running direct from the HU but they are even better with an amp which is my plan for next few weeks.
I've also had both varieties of their 6x9's which I cannot recommend enough, they're amazing!!
Hope this helps, let me know if you want any more info.

#19: Re: Quicksilver turns into a GTi > Progress Author: martinius88, Location: Rushden, NorthantsPosted: Fri Feb 10, 2012 8:23 am ---- Small update: Have bought and had sprayed a badgeless front grill, which looks smart, but now need to get the gap in the bonnet filled and coloured!! CC'd the bump strips (apart from the front, which I need to get done) have a race tube to be fitted but that can wait until the snow has gone as I dont fancy laying on the floor in the cold and wet! Will get pics up soon!
#20: Re: Quicksilver turns into a GTi > Progress Author: martinius88, Location: Rushden, NorthantsPosted: Wed Apr 18, 2012 2:34 pm ---- Havent updated this in a while,so got a couple of pics here,
Number plates have returned to standard, after a £60 fine I'm now very clear on the laws surrounding the plates, policeman was a decent chap as well and very interested about the car asking 101 questions.
Got my brother to knock these up with his vinyl cutter.
Also I have fitted a Scorpion cat back exhaust system (full stainless) can see it in the pic in garage, carbon mirror caps from a 180, which you can see in one of the pics, an SP chrome bonnet vent and replaced the speedo cluster for a black and chrome one which looks much better then the white one I had before. I will get some more pics ASAP.
Plans/things to do:
- Redo roof lining in black and also the pillars
- Colour code the front bumper (waiting for delivery)
- Change dials to blue and de-tango A/C and MFD
- Custom trim door cards (issues with pay pal holding this up)
- Thinking of cat cams and re-map... suggestions on this one?
- Roof in gloss black, opinions?
Thats all for now. Comments and opinions appreciated.

It's very good, not too hard not to soft, nice and responsive through the corners, I like it.

Yeah the pro-kit. I bought them from demon-tweeks for about £80 but that seems to have gone up now to about £100. I'd double check but dont have the car anymore or any of the paperwork ie receipts and stuff like that.
