seems like a sensible ugrade, anyone have any experience?

We noticed no sound from our rear speakers...ohhh! stupid renault dont fit them...WHAT!!!!!

As to your question.Yes the reviews are good, with a new head unit. Problem is, the left hand tweater is a bad job to fit.You have to lift the dash a bit.All because the hole is off centre...another Renault cockup

Yeah I've got these in my Cup.

Fitment of the tweeters is usually a dash-off job but if you're careful it's not that hard - there's a guide on here somewhere.

With the standard HU it's definitely an improvement and you can push the volume up a lot further without distortion. With an aftermarket HU (I've got a Kenwood BT60U) they perform a lot better. Punchy and clean. Would recommend.

these just plug in ?

 

[Goodj]

These are the easiest upgrade possible.

You can, just about, get the tweets changed without ripping the dash out. I've had a trial-run before ordering a set myself. DOn't get me wrong, swearing will occur, but the little buggers WILL come out undamaged.

You could do with a small amp to drive them though.

EDIT: Oh, and tap up MT Audio on here, he may be able to do you a deal. Mind, even if he can only match the price, support your CS traders!

Ive not tried these myself, its nice to have the pre packaged with the plugs,

But you can buy cheaper decent speakers and get wire adapters from ebay for a few quid, i.e.

I bought Street edge and Hertz speakers, wire converters push on the terminals then plug in, voila.

 

[CustomChris]

is this the same adapter for the tweeters ?

 

[guysy]

Erm, im not too sure mate, i couldn't say tbh, best thing is to do a bit more searching, maybe find a pic or someone can say, ive never bothered with the tweeters.

Quick google img search finds this:

Looks like the plug that goes in is the normal speaker plug for the front sides and the back... so getting another pair of speaker adapters youd just have to check what sort of terminals are on the tweeters, if they're are the thin and fat terminals, again its plug and play with no cutting and soldering, original tweeter plug into new adapter then terminals on the new tweeter, if the terminals are different you might have to crimp the right terminals on or just solder straight to the tweeter but all good.

Didnt realise this myself before... so may route through the edge tweeters i have in the loft and change them over.

This looks like a newer clio but i would think its all the same looking at the similar plugs.

with the Pioneer set you dont have to mess around with fiting crossovers either.

They are the most plug 'n' play kit you can get.

Sure there are cheaper aned better, but I'm going for the Pioneers as it'll save me $$$$$ in time, effort or professional help.

Nice one fella.

I'll just add that neither of my 172's tweeters are lined-up under the grilles, but with a lot of swearing, twisting and a bit of brute force, they will come out without taking any part of the dash apart.
