Regular Posts: 257 Location: Northampton | How simple a job is this? .. if I remember correctly .. is the the measurement of the door speakers 13cm? and the rears 10cm? the reason is .. they sound pretty much crap. I'd rather not kit it out with a sub and an amp .. I just want to upgrade the door speakers and the rear speakers for ones a little .. newer ... cheers | ||

Extreme Veteran Posts: 580 Location: Birmingham (Uni) | I think there's a good How-To on the main site that tells you how to modify the original fittings for the front speakers so you can fit newer ones without having to cut through the door bin grills. Sizes are 13 and 10 | ||

Fish freak! MP Admin Posts: 14989 Location: Birmingham | MetroMuppet - 9/6/2011 12:59 PM Front speakers are actually 16 cm No they aren't. The guide is good, easy enough to do and should make a different over the standard ones | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 768 Location: Swindon, Wiltshire | Little late into this I know, but I fitted my Vibe Slicks over the last few days, and ended up cutting the door bin grilles out to make room for the tweeter & cone. It sat behind them, but if my music was up the cone would bounce off the grille making them go bwaarp... Lol. | ||
