I'm after some advice on after market car audio solutions for the focus - particularly speakers. The normal place for putting a decent pair of 6x8 speakers on the front doors seem to be where the plastic 'magazine holders' (my term) are..
The rear parcel shelf seems to be out for decent rears.. What do other people do with their focus? |

The 6.5 inch drivers replace the existing ones in the front doors (need to make custom pods as stock speakers are mounted on a plastic pod), and the tweeters slot in where the existing ones sit (also in door). Pretty sure there's enough room in the doors for the crossovers as well.
FYI - Mk2 Foci have 6.5 inch/16cm speakers front and rear. Try your local car audio place/JB HIFI/etc. Listen to plenty of speakers and find the ones that sound good to YOU (not the sales person) that are obviously within your budget. If you're handy with a soldering iron, you should be able to find your favourites online for a good price. Also budget in for sound deadener - makes a big difference. Finally - good to keep in mind that when you're listening to speakers they will sound different in your car compared to how they sound mounted to the demo board in a shop.

Without changing the head unit is there a great improvement with a change of speakers? No complaints about the stock speakers, but y'know...
I do miss my Kicker 6x9s in my old car, they were great!
