what sizes are the speakers does anyone know?

thanks

16cm in front also known as 17cm or 6.5"

6x9s in the back

[Gary406]

providing you have a saloon of course,

if its an estate i have no idea. guessing fronts will be same

16cm in front also known as 17cm or 6.5"

6x9s in the back

so the saloon has 6x9 in the back how do you get them out as i have a pair of alpine 6x9 to put in?

[modified406]

your 6x9's wont fit in the back ull have to modify ur parcel shelf i done this by buyin some mdf 6x9 20mm spacers from ebay

[Gary406]

you have to place aftermarket 6x9s on top of the shelf, but the thing is the hole thats allready in the shelf is just a bit to big to bolt your new speaker to the shelf, you will see what i mean when you remove your shelf.

remove the shelf thats the best way to do it, ive done it the same way as modified,
in theory you trap the shelf between the speaker and the MDF bolting your speaker to the MDF,

you can buy the spacer off ebay, but i got 2 peices of MDF from local woodyard and cut the holes myself with my jigsaw,
cost me £1.20 for the wood and about 1 hour to fully do the job,

i need to check my wires under the shelf later, so im gonna be removing my shelf,

i will post pics how its done if that helps ... its very easy

The rear speakers in the estate are actually smaller than the front. Didn't measure them, but I'm guessing at about 4ins. They are located halfway up the rear pillars in the boot.

and they are utter garbage

[waue1978]

I'm with you on that. When I get into it I was thinking of replacing the ones in the pillars with aftermarket speakers, getting a small sub box (something that'll fit behind the extra rear seats when they're up) & fitting some 6x9s in the parcel shelf (run off the amp that'll be needed for the sub box.

If I ever get the time & spare funds...

[Gary406]

if your getting a sub theres no need to fit 6x9s and put bigger speakers in the rear pillars,

standard speakers are fine if you add a sub (not to loud tho with the standards)

[406Iain]

The standard speakers are fantastic in my d9.The major thing Ive done though is fitted a quality H/U which helps.

[Gary406]

yes it sure does.. the best one you could probably buy is ALPINE,

[406Iain]

Yup Ive got a http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalo ... 8wIwADgA#p
Its fantastic,had it in my last 2 cars. £500 new

[Gary406]

thats what i have 3 gold plated 4v pre outs

ive had a few alpines in my time and this is the best,

i got mine 4 week ago for £60

Funnily enough, it's what I have as well!

For parcel shelf stuff in my D9, I did this
