Guest timmy Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 i have had my c1 for over a year now and have decided that the speakers are not good enough for me. is there any way i can change them? at first i wanted to have some installed in the back but was told that the built in stereo did not have enough channels for extra speakers to be wired in! is this true? also if its deffinately not possible to have extras in back, can i change front ones for anything with tiny bit more oomph and sound quality? any help would be handy, cheers Quote

I put two 'Alpine SXE-1025S 10cm Speakers' from Halfords in the front (itemcode: 680884-0) and I cut two holes in the back parcel shelf for two decent sized (150w 3 way) Sony speakers. My C1 which was a 2006 had enough speaker inputs no problem. You can tell by seeing if you have a 'Fade' feature on the radio. Nitty Gritty bit - in order to install the fronts, I had to carefully cut two of the speaker mounts off the new Alpines in order to make them fit. Very very easy. BUT - then I found with all my new speakers that the headunit was still weak despite all this extra capability. So I went on Ebay and bought a C1 headunit adapter fascia and slotted in my own 150w JVC (with 400w amp in the boot and a 10" subwoofer!!). Then the car sounded excellent!! Incidently - I have the JVC (mp3) headunit, C1 Fascia, Amp and Sub for sale if anybody is interested!! Sounds amazing in a little C1 :P **EDIT** Should add that the reason it was taken out is because I bought a C2 airplay this week!! Quote
