Hi,

I upgraded the OEM radio in my Ford KA to a nice Sony Xplod CD player.

I was thinking about adding a CD changer, can I buy any one I see for sale,
or does it have to be compatible with the KA or CD player? I was thinking
about getting a Sony Xplod one. I guess it'll live in the boot?

Is it worth swapping the speakers for better ones? or are the OEM ones
pretty good already? Again, what size and type of speakers should I look
for?

Thanks for your suggestions, as you can probably tell, I don't know much
about cars or car audio

You will need a suitable sony CD Changer which will cost you around £100 if
you shop around.

The standard ones are 5"*7" oval speakers.
There are a few that will drop straight in , but my recommendation if you
don't want to spend too much would be kenwood 6893's which will set you back
around 35 quid from MCS direct.
I had them in mine and they were a noticable improvement over the standard
ones.

Are you sure about those speakers? I can't seem to find any mention of
Kenwood 6893 anywhere!

Thanks!

Would the CDX-646 they have in the special offers section be suitable? Is it
any good? Price looks pretty good.

Thanks for your replies!

Are you sure the KENWOOD KFCC6889IE will be suitable? They're described as
6x8", but I think you mentioned the original speakers are 5"x6"
