Infinity fitting problems?

[wellfan]

Further to my last post re. Pioneer dash speakers. I would be happy to swap them for a set of rears as only one of the rear speakers that I bought on ebay actually works. The seller was very decent as he refunded me half of the purchase price of the full set. So I am still looking for a set of rears or a single Pioner TS-H465 to match the one working rear speaker that I have.

as long as your door pockets have hinged pull out bins you will be fine

 hockeylad72 , thanks for that info. I contacted my local VAG dealer this morning and he can get me them for early next week. I'll try asking for a discount. Thanks again. Could you recommend some reasonably priced speakers for the grilles?

[hockeylad72]

no problem wellfan, I spent £100 on speakers which in my opinion is fairly cheap. all I would suggest is get the best you can afford and remember your front speakers provide the most music and all you need in the rear is a sub. that's my humble opinion but each to their own eh?

all the best

13cm and door pods it is, cheers hockeylad! Will do nicely for now and keeps that 'standard' feel.

I have a set of infinity rears for sale.... Only problem is fitting the damn things!!

glad to be off help guys, wellfan let me know if you manage to get discount from VW dealer.
I'm really just being nosey!!!

hockeylad72, I managed to get the door grilles today with a 12% discount. My local VAG dealer is Verve, I got my parts from their Wishaw (near Motherwell) branch. All the guys in the parts department are always extremely helpfull and the guy I dealt with was more than happy to offer me a discount when I mentioned this website. Thanks again for your help hockeylad. I am surprised the discount available from VAG is not more widely advertised on this website.

glad to hear that you got discount
you got them fitted yet?

[wellfan]

 hockeylad72, not fitted yet as I have still to get speakers. Am I correct in thinking that I need 13cm speakers and do they fit exactly over the mounting lugs on the grilles with no modification?

[hockeylad72]

13cm or 5 1/4" depending on mounting depth of speaker you might have to cut hole on door card for clearance, other than that no modifications needed
