Size Of Front (door) Speakers...

Recommended Posts

fulani

Right.

 

As usual I've lost my torx screwdriver set, so can't check in the car until I go out and buy some more. At which point I might as well get the speakers.

 

So, Phase 1.5 1.9 GTI - front speakers are: 10cm (4") or 13cm (5ish")?

 

Please help!

How sure are you?

 

Maybe I should have set a poll for this. Or I could buy another set of Torx screwdrivers...

I'm so confused!

I'll bet my left gonad that they are all 13cm. My old Astra had 10cm speakers and Pug ones are much bigger.

As everyone says, 13cm (5¼" )

 

Here's a picture of my 4" midrange fitted in the standard location, you can see it's smaller than the original mountings.

They're just the midrange drivers out of a 3-way set. The 6½" midbass are going in the bottom of the doors :lol: It's only a quick and dirty solution for now, until I have chance to build some proper door pods, or take the bull by the horns and get the mids into the kickwells!

Cheers guys, got a great deal on some Alpines, came with separate tweeters and much better handling than the 10cm ones.

Found the Torx screwdrivers and everything's ready to go.

 

Many thanks. :lol:
