Speakers, Front Speaker size Options

[Racer_J]

Does anyone know the size of the front door speakers for the 6GC? I've read its 13mm (5.25") Is this correct. I've also heard they're an odd size? Does anyone have a definitive answer to this as the stock one's that are in my car are shot!

Cheers

Stock ones are 6.25" but the are in a metal spacers which houses itself in a big (8" plastic bracket)

So in order to make a standard size 6.5" (16.5 cm) fit you would have to make a spacer out of plastic or preferred (as I did) MDF.


There was a How To about is but it seems to be removed.

Thanks for the tip! So what you're saying is once the stock speakers are taken out, I'll be left with an 8" aperture? Why can't car manufacturers ever do things straight forward!!!

The 8" opening is for those of us who have the premium sound system with the 8" speakers in the doors.
Wouldnt make sense for the manufacturer to make sepperate panels with smaller speaker openings, when a simple adapter is cheaper....
