Bro, You have to check speakers with pre by running it in your car. It doesn't matter how good they look, its always the sound quality they can produce.

One other point you should note i.e. if you buy any other size of speakers then the ones came pre installed, the fitter has to cut the steel plate on the back of the car. I thought i should mention that coz you seems very cautious not to open the dash board also :).

@ailihaider

that person told me that back plate should be cutted down to fit the speakers. wot is the other method to install the speakers rather get the plate down? is there any???
or is there anyother good speakers with same fitting as the original one?

please help me out of this......

Bhai, ok, let me tell you something in detail. The pre installed JVC player that comes in Liana is prety decent, also the speakers at the back are good quality. Its just that the speakers at the front doors are shit and doesn't support the system.

I would suggest that you kep the Player(which you will ) and also keep the speakers at the back also. Just get a component system of Kenwood, which will cost you around 8k, it would have two speakers and two settelite tweeters. Just put the speakers on the doors by replacing the shitty ones and put the tweeters on the dash board as they come with a nice stand that would be attached by double tape. and if you can have a small amp (around 200W) you will get very decent quality sound with no Alterations at all..

The front door speakers that comes with the car have plastic cover to fit correctly to the doors. With component speakers just tell the fiter to make 1" thick wood plate to get the fitting right. He will put the wood plate to Doors and speakers on the wood plate..

phew... I have had a sound system fited in my liana and it took about 4 hours to do so, but its a rather complicated system.

I hope you will like the sound quality, as per my suggestion.. Off course its always your choice that matters the most.. Take Care...

Well I dont know about liana but I have a city and I also faced the same problem when I went to Hall road to get new speakers. The shopowner told me that I had to get the metal cut but I found another solution.

Even in liana there must be at least two round holes on the plate. Instead of installing speakers ON the metal plate(which will require cutting to ensure same size as 6*9 speakers) ask the guy to install the speakers UNDER the metal plate(each speaker under each hole). This way you wont have to cut the metal sheet.
Sound output at least in city this way is about 80-85% compared to if the speakers were installed ON the metal sheet but I am satisfied. If you plan to install a woofer or amp you wont even feel the difference. And the 10-15% loss in sound output only comprises of bass i.e. bass would be a little low

install speakers under... well... sounds good, but tell me, what do you see when you look from up.. A hole ??? I mean if the speakers are installed from under you just can't put the grill of the speakers.. right ???

Sorry bro, just a little bit confused.. can you post some pics showing the installation... sounds like a great idea...

i agree

[yasir_khan]

on the upperside you will see the original board of honda city which is far better than the speaker grills. I did the same. installed them from down side and also a woofer box in the trunk and there is no quality difference wheather upside or down,

i had the option of intalling 6x9s under the factory holes but something wasnt right, the sound quality did suffer a bit.

y not buy simple 6 inchers. makes sense

Liana's head unit is just a peice of sh**. I attached my Pyramid Royal Blue with it and it sounds like a**.

good for small speakers.
