Hi all,
got this new Kangoo van with the worst quality sound system I've ever heard. Currently 2x speakers in the top of the dashboard where it meets the window, and standard tape player. I'm going to be in the van about 12 hours a day for the next couple of years and as a bit of an audiophile I'd like to upgrade this system to work with my ipod & CD's, and to sound better.
I'd like to change the speakers for some half decent ones, and run new better quality cables to them from a replacement head unit with integrated amp.
Has anyone got any ideas about how easy this might be?
My main concern is whether the speakers in there at the minute are an industry standard size, and so will I be able to get new ones which will go straight in the existing place for them, and then what the rough procedure might be for rewiring them (ie where do I run cables etc).
Finally, there is a space at the bottom of each the doors where a speaker might fit, I'd like to put one in there if possible, but I'd need to cut the plastic & run the cables to the door somehow - if anyone had ideas on how this might be done I'd apreciate it.
Or if anyone could point me to a publication or website which shows any of this it'd be great.
Thanks.
