[Veee1.8t]

hi guys..just wondering what the stock speaker size back and fronts are? i tried searching with no results.....

cheers

Fronts are 6", I assume the backs are the same.

6.5" can be made to fit without too much trouble, there are a few stereo threads on here with pics.

it doesnt realy matter because whatever you do if you remove the stock speakers you will need to use spacers to install new ones - the fronts are 6" and the rears are 5" - but they are built into som etype of plastic spacers that are pop rivetted into the aluminium door inner covers

i have replaced the front ones with 6,5" aftermarkets but ive had to make a spacer out of MDF otherwise you dont get enough depth for the magnets

there are plastic spacers available but those probably would rattle and vibrate if you have strong speakers - so i suggest making your own out of MDF like i have done - and in that instance the minor differences in size dont really matter because the holes on the doors will be adequate for a 6,5" on the front and a 5,25" in the rear
