Hi Karl
I've changed all the speakers & tweeters in my car when I was running Navall 3. I used Infinity 6512i reference speakers 165mm, for the fronts, with crossover units, and standard Infinity speakers for the rears. I also changed the tweeters. I'm no audiophile, and it was Coolcat (Sir Jeff) who sorted it all out for me, including pre-wiring the crossover units. I then run through a 4 channel Alpine Amplifier, mounted under passenger glove box. I also used sound deadening material to line inside doors. This was all sorted for me by Coolcat (Sir Jeff) to suit my Navall 3 at a reasonable cost. I fitted it all myself, bit of a fiddle but I managed it. The main problem I had was I had to fit speakers to front of mountings instead of rear, otherwise the bigger magnets fouled the window glass frame. I am very pleased with the result, and now I am changing from Navall 3 to 'Star', which has a better equaliser, then things should be even better. I thoroughly recommend Coolcat's (Sir Jeff) advice on these matters, and he has other makes of equipment if you should want. Hope that's a help. trimani (ALF) Last edited by trimani; 11th October 2016 at 10:22.. Reason: Change from Pioneer to Alpine |

Hi Karl and thanks Alf,
The three choices I would recommend are Hertz DSK for budget, Infinity Reference for mid range budget and Focal Access if you wish to splash the cash P.S, I think you had an Alpine amp Alf

Jeff,
If I upgrade the speakers is it necessary to have an external amp with the navall 3? |

They will work fine with the double dins own built in amp but would sound better still with a decent external one

Hi Sir Jeff (Coolcat),
I am looking forward to running the 'Star' on the 10 way equaliser. Should be good. Thanks for the amplifier correction. trimani (ALF) |
