Title: 4" speakers in dash
Post by: Khare on 24 October 2008, 17:50
How do i do this? :huh:
i read somewhere that you can fit 4" speakers where the old factory speakers are in the dash, but last night i tried this and the old speakers are about 2" and the 4" ones i had were nowere near of fitting!!
how do i fit them? ive read somewhere that it can be done :undecided:

just get the ones that are the right size for the dash, or fit them in the doors. i fitted factory size ones in mine and they're still too big because the magnets were a lot bigger than the original ones and fouled on the air ducting for the side vents.

dont fall for the ebay door speaker grilles they either state that they are rare or vw dont list them anymore
they do i bought some a few months ago and they were about £22 but they were just for the grilles without speakers wiring/fasteners etc
you may get some with speakers but dont get drawn into a bidding war for rare/unavailable parts that usualy go for £25 upwards
if you know what i mean

dont forget to add rare and no longer available from vw in the listing to get the bidding going
