[audi20v] Speaker Recommendations

[Mark L. Chang]

Alex,

Spend the flow on the front speakers. You sit in the front, the sound
stage is in the front, and the rears just get in the way.

I removed the side window defrost vents and stuck an LPG tweeter in there.
Fits fine. You can get the exact dimensions from www.madisound.com.

If you like smooth, stay away from MB Quart and possibly Alpine (although,
I've never liked a speaker from them anyways). I would recommend taking a
gander at Focal.

Specifically, check out www.zalytron.com They have been running a Focal
car audio "special" for about a year now. They have some fabulous prices
on stuff. Their entry line the 100C is pretty good and at 100mm, it would
probably fit the 90q20v front dash just fine and is very reasonably
priced.

For rears, I went with Madisound Sledghammer coaxes... for like $30 a pop,
you can't go wrong. Leave the rears alone for now, if you want to save up
scratch. Just disconnect them (stupid amps) and let the rear seat
passengers suffer in silence.

Email me for more info if you want.
