Speaker Advice?

Alright Guys, not been on here for a while, good to see the site still going strong.:thumbup1:

Just looking for some advice on Front and back door speakers. What should I buy coax or component? Am I right in saying that coax have tweeters built in? Meaning I wouldn't have to replace the the tweeters fitted in the dash? Don't fancy changing the tweeters
All I want is a half decent set front and back, no amps just something swap over with these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....136173&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_1863wt_905

What could I fit easily out of these?http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/speakers/full-range/5-inch-coax-13cm.html
£150 max, should I be looking at spending all of that on fronts? or £100 in the front and £50 in the back?
Quite like these http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/focal-access-130-ca1.html
Or http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/focal-polyglass-130-cvx.html
Would these even fit?

Currently I have this headunit http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product_m-sony-cdx-gt929u-xa-110ip_p-23235.htm
I know it aint the best but I did buy it about 3 years ago.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, as I know very little ;/
Thanks :smile:
 
These are a direct replacement for the originals; no messing about with adapters, they fit straight in

The tweeters are a bit of a pain to change but can be done.

With regards to other options due to the factory speakers only using two securing points other after market speakers would need the other two securing points cut off to fit in the original locations.

Components are really the best option up front, as it will lift the sound and give you better staging up front. I'm not a big fan of using rear speakers, but this is personal taste. I certainly wouldn't be spending 150 on fronts running off the headunit. If you want my honest opinion, look at trying to demo a newer alpine or pioneer headunit. They will give you a much better sound and a better foundation to build upon at a later stage.
 
Thanks for the advice guys, am in Inverness only place we have that sells speakers is Halfords and there selection is rubbish, so trying to hear what some of the speakers are like is difficult :worried:
Maybe I'll just get those Pioneer one's Carl, you know anyone with them they ok?
 
The Pioneer speakers for Renault ate good, a friend of mine has them, coupled with a good head unit and you will have a good upgrade for sure!

LOL, that Halfords is legendary :wink:

Do you already have speakers in the rear of your car btw?
It seems Renault forgot to put them in the rear of most 197's :s
