VX SPEAKER Specs Help Please

[2rk2nv]

hi guys new user, love the place and am amazed at how much time people take out to help others with some handy know how.

I would like to ask if anyone knows wat are the watts/RMS and brand names of the speakers in my 02 VX Spac thnx !

6" Cardboard speakers removed from my VXII Calais are marked : Korea 4ohm 15watt.

Heh - whoever manufactures them, they're not game to put their brand on.

Seriously, they are pretty crappy. (same as for VY/VZ) The head units are capable of around 16-17WRMS (into 4 ohms) before they start to clip, and those ones are rated at 15WRMS as Fletch posted above. Even a modest spend at your local audio shop will yield an improvement in the sound. 6" speakers should drop straight into the mounting plinths, 6.5" will require a little trimming work but they go in.

I have fit 6.5" Alpine splits - that's what made it so easy to read the specs off the old ones. Had to cut the plastic mounts - sooo easy, no problem.

What about the parcel shelf subs in the premium audio package ? I'd like to use the sub-outs from my new head unit to get better control, and run a bigger amp for bigger punch - but is there any point without changing the factory subs?

hey thanx boys for the quik reply,
so installing preety good aftermarket speakers will improve my sound? also if i install 6.5's and trim the plastic will i be able to install old ones properly later on down the track if i want to sell the car (GOD FORBID/TOUCH WOOD/ETC)lol
THANX ALOT GUYS

thx for quik reply John,
sorry for all the questions but i found out yesterday that my vx has what i think are tweeters, the frontest speekers at the bottom of the front windscreen. So my question is are the tweeters ok to just leave in and if i do take em out will it be a hard job to put sum better ones in?

ps im a intermediate in car audio jargon.

Also has anyone got any suggestions on the kind of 6-6.5 speakers i should get, like to keep the brand to sony xplode but open to suggestions. Keeping in mind that ive currently got the 4x15wRMS stock speakers, 2x tweeters, 2x 250max Watt 6x9's in parcel and 2 x12inch sony xplod subs and a 600watt 4ch amp

tweeders are easy to change theres a couple of screws underneath the windscreen. if u but some decent speakers they should come with tweeders. ive got some alpine type r 6.5inch splits in the front and they came with tweeders and there pretty damn good but i think there a bit pricy. also dont bother with 6x9's if ur gonna get subs maybe just get another pair of 6.5's for the rear doors but i dont think ull really need them.
