smee 0 Posted October 6, 2007 The stock doorpods take a 5.25" bass driver, they can sound ok but you'll get better sound (esp. bass) by buying or making better pods. Audioscape make doorpods for the corrado, they're pricey (£180ish) but very well made and look factory. Either way, you can't go wrong with a decent set of components in the front, pop the tweeters in the stock positions on top of the dash and enjoy! Also the stock rears are 6x4" but usually a bit of hacksaw work is required to fit aftermarket speakers. (not that I ever turn my rears on anyway) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used a set of 6x4" JBLs in the rear shelf support to give a bit more bass punch, although you do have to pull the spacer ring off them. Stock dash tweeters and a set of stock size infinity reference door speakers ensures a good quality sound for not a huge investment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smee 0 Posted October 23, 2007 Glad to hear this, enjoy your C! I sometimes worry I'm adding too much weight to the car in ICE... :scratch: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2 0 Posted October 24, 2007 If you are putting whopping big speakers in the rear shelf then be carefull where the holes have been put. If they are to the back, as mine was when I bought the C, the shelf simply bends with the weight and your straps will simply streeeeetch to breaking point. Seems obvious but the former owner had been a bit rash with the jigsaw. :( Ended up buying a new shelf, (with the speaker holes near to the rear seat), adding some strengthening for peace of mind and making some re-inforced straps. Good luck. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
