    Hi

    I have 13cm in mk mk2 which aint bad with the 6x9s in the back. I'm thinking of moving to 17cm speakers with the audioscape speaker holders for a mk1. Or shall i just stick with the 13cms as the audioscape cabinet is 100 quid cheaper!

    I was looking at the Pioneer 1775 speakers or kenwood or sony.

    I've got sony head unit and speakers and they seem good so would like to stick with em unless there is something better.

    At that sort of money Id go for the components with the tweeters in the dash for the better sound quality.

    I m not a fan of sony at all so my advice is steer clear

    Doh - saw the MK2 bit didnt realise they were for MK1 but even if not they normally come with a flat mount option or anngled housing options so all you need is a bit of a flat surface.

    On the 17cm Pioneer accelerate components the crossover is built in and not seperate so there easier to wire in
