HI,
I managed to upgrade my system using:
https://www.hertzaudiovideo.com/car-audio-speakers-system-mille-pro-mpk165-3/
So far i replace only the "woofers". See pictures below. After mounting them, without putting the door cover, gave it a try and sounded crappier than the orginal ones. I've experienced the same dissapointment. Then i realised that it sounded bad because it wasn't sealed properly. By using silicones and putting the door cover and the restarm, i finally managed to obtain an improved sound, let's say 25% better.
What remains to be done:
- wiring the crossovers; this will be tricky because our amplifier already includes ones;
- applying soundproofing material, because it will for sure raise "crickets" into our doors;
In conclusion, worth the while for me. It's true that i had much more expectations from this upgrade, but i guess i won't get the deep bass from midrange speakers no matter how much money i will spend on them. Please let me know if i can help you further.
When you say 25% better, do you mean compared to the stock speakers or the installation without properly sealing the door?
I covered the inside with Noico 80mil sound deadening materiale, as most of the outer panel, there is no gap between the speaker adapter and the door.
As for the crossovers, there is no need to install them (as many have stated), it doesn't seem to me that there are wrong freqs playing through the tweeters or the woofers, even so, it seems you cannot connect them anyway because you already have 2 different signals coming from the amp (tweeter and woofer) and there is no easy way to mix them back together, but if you find a solution keep me posted!
Thanks!!
