Hi Folks,

Anyone know what size the front speakers are on a late cabby 91in fact.

These are the round ones in the door pockets.

not sure of the original size but i had 20cm speakers in mine which i didnt have to modify the door cards for so that size or a slight bit smaller is my guess.

a quick measure of the speaker cover leads me to believe that they are 5" in diameter - with the separate component tweeters further up the door card

i was sure i had my originals somewhere after I put my rainbows in but i would have to dig them up - they weren't that great tbh

i'm going to revise that to 5.25" as that seems the most popular available choice and it is these I believe which I have in my car..

Brilliant,

will get looking into why mine aren't working.
Think it's the speakers themselves as the tweeters still work, so I assume that the audio is going out from the stereo, mind you nothing would surprise me with this car lol.

Cheers again.

check the connections and the wiring through the door i guess would be a first point of call

i can have a look and see if I can see my old ones but i think they stumbled into the bin of shame
