Dissapointed with radio sound quality

[The Hoff]

Ok so I have had my new 2005 305Z roadster for three weeks now and although the sounds from the CD player (standard 6 disc non Bose system) are not too bad the sounds quality from the radio is fairly poor and a lot quiter than the CD player.

 

Whats the best thing to do first for better sound - Change the headunit or change the speakers?

 

Cheers, The Hoff.

What ariel have you got?

[The Hoff]

Standard ariel as supplied.

 

The reception on the radio is fine but its the quality that is a bit of a let down. No clear crisp tones to it, muffled farty bass etc etc. Whack on a CD and its very listenable.

you will have obviously had a play with the tone control (treble bass) ?

 

the rear speakers are the easiest to change and they are diabolical as standard, a set of kickers in the rear makes a big difference

[The Hoff]

Yea, tried messing around with the audio controls but its doesnt help much. Speakers its is then.

 

Being a lazy git, can anyone give me the model number of some speakers that are a direct replacement?

You only have to take the top part off to access the speakers, not all the rear as shown

 

i fitted kicker ks65.2 but you can fit ks65, the .2's have crossovers and tweeters

i know a lot of people say dont bother with the rear as they are only sound fillers but if you speak to anyone that has actually changed them in the Z, they will recommend you do it

 

the fronts are more fiddly to do and require spacers otherwise the window glass will hit the magnet on the speaker and they need to be better speakers e.g. focals
