I bought my speakers from ICE Direct in Peterborough, they are 6.5" so i bought some audioscape door pods to house them then i just made up some mountings for the tweeters which i put in the dash. i did this by removing the old dash speaker, turning it upside down and drawing round to get the perfect fit. I cut the mounts from 5mm MDF and they were a great fit and the grilles went back on over the top no problem. hope this helps

you can fit a tiny 3 1/2" speaker in the dash, but it's pointless when you can put a tweeter from a component set in there and have a lot better sound overall. forget rear speakers. how often do you sit back there :wink:

Sub off amp and 13/17cm's off the headunit sound really good.

well yeah if you can afford it. I plan to use my ST100 to run the front speakers and get a larger probably dual mono amp to run a better 10" in a proper enclosure one day.
