1029.0. "Upgrade Speakers on Montego?" by LARVAE::BRIGGS (They use computers don't they?) Wed Apr 18 1990 13:45

    I just got a lease Montego with top of the range Philips stereo and I'm
    disappointed. I suspect the speakers are the standard fitted ones as
    the bass lacks precision and treble is poor (even has tweeters in the
    door). This is not to say its BAD just not what you'd expect from a top
    range 6 speaker stereo system.
    
    I suspect it must be easy to upgrade the speakers. Anyone got an idea
    on cost? Is there a significant benefit to be had?

	Richard, I know this may be late but I've just seen your note and to my shock (no one replied!!) I may be able to help..There's a place in Basingstoke called TECHNE tel: 0256 812990. They have all makes of decent speakers from Kenwood (from 30 pounds) to JBL (from 80 pounds). They stock kenwood, Alpine, JBL, Denon etc etc.... These guys have only been going for about 1 year and are very helpfull. As for upgrading your speakers, each brochure has a guide showing you what custom made speakers will fit in your car. It really depends on what you want...!! I have bought a pair of kenwood dual cone speakers and have put those in the doors. Lots of people wouldn't put speakers in the doors because of obvious reasons but I feel they sound 100% better in doors rather than pods. For christmas I have bought a limited edition of JBL's which are rear shelf speakers. JBL where experimenting with these and in the shops they are being sold for 100 pounds + VAT. Peake handling power is 360 watts each and RMS 180 watts !! cheap for a speaker of this caliber. But be quick only 1,500 have been produced. If I was you I'd have either Alpine or JBL.... CRAIG...7833-3105 ps....TECHNE is opposite the basingstoke football club...!!
