People say mk3s are 16.5/17cm

Which one, or does it not matter?

Im not sure what size mk3's are but they say the same size for mk4 and yes it does matter. i got 17cm which wouldnt fit into the standard pod. pop the speaker grill off and have a quick measure. sure someone with a mk3 will  be along soon.

I have 170mm jbl's fitted and removed some sony 165mm ones...so both fit       the thing to check is depth as my o.e grilles wont fit the deep jbl's but covered the sony's!! oh and the grilles that come for the speakers wont fit either!!
