Title: will these fit??
Post by: 9thwonder on 14 March 2012, 11:18

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ALPINE-4-X6-280W-MAX-TYPE-S-SERIES-2-WAY-COAXIAL-CAR-STEREO-DOOR-PANEL-SPEAKERS-/190647175179?pt=Car_Audio_Video&hash=item2c6375080b

Just wanted to know if these would fit where the original speakers are on a MK2 16v??

I want to keep it looking standard but want a little better system.

I know they do these

Which will drop straight in but just wondered about the above?

Thanks

Nope.  You need round ones to fit standard speaker mounts.

For example (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Golf-MK2-Front-Door-Speakers-Pioneer-Speaker-kit-/130542780284#ht_1854wt_988)


5.25 inch is what you need.

The rears are indeed 6x4...

I can't view ebay at work but presume both will fit if they are 6x4

It's easy to fit the 5.25" or 13cm Door speaker's and covers... It's just a screw to hold them in place of the pockets and then running the wires through...
