nah mate philips as nowt to do with bang and olufsen altho theres nowt wrong with philips,

ive been told jbl started off selling cheap stuff for catalogues and then getting cloned into stuff thats top class dont know if thats true tho,

the stereo in my puggy sounds good but ithink iwill be ripping out the speakers if there jbl or not as there sounding abit rattly

just got to work out what size the door speakers & the rear speakers are

[FarmerPug]

thats why i did the pink grip onto the speaker grilles of my parcel shelf it rattled at high bass, now it doesnt rattle.

The back ones dont rattle in mine,
its the fronts that r the problem or it couid be the doorcards themselves that are rattling imight add some sound deadnin stuff and see

[FarmerPug]

they may not be tight, but i actually found i forgot to reconnect the front speakers and i heard a rattle which was the speaker plug.

[Gary406]

6x9 in the rear
6.5 in the front doors
