Rear Components
« on: November 06, 2011, 03:25:09 pm »
Guys,

Running Hertz DSK165s in the front and I've been very happy with them. H/U is an RNS 510.

To enhance the existing setup, could I migrate the DSK's to the rear speaker position removing the factory rears speakers in the process? (I've got the poverty spec speaker config from factory).

If I can't move the DSKs to the rear, what size and spec components should I be looking at to give an improve overall setup?

Thanks.
Pete

Having had a chat with a few audiophile peeps, they've advised against fitting rear speakers as it alters the sound stage and drags things backwards.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Aren't there some there already Stealth?  :confused: I thought even the poverty sound pack had a rear set, one speaker either side of the rear seats(?).

I mean the boggo rear ones. Wouldn't upgrading these surely contribute to a better sound?

Either I've explained it very badly or I think I've more speakers than I thought  :chicken:

Anyhow, there's something in the back speaker wise. Is replacing the stock ones with better components going to give me no advantage in which case, judging by your comments Stealth? Cheers  :happy2:

You need to have a chat with an audiophile or someone who does installations. PM luke here (plush-automotive) and have a chat.
