hi
I bought my 05plate blob eye yesterday an the stereo is shocking I've already got a pioneer touch screen to go in but what size speakers are fitted to the front doors rear doors and parcel shelf area im looking at going for hertz speakers running off amps not sure which ones to go for yet

I had same issue, on my 3rd set of speakers now (including originals).

Fronts are 5.25 inch but you can fit 6 inch with adaptors
Rear ares 4.5 inch (I've seen adaptors allowing bigger but haven't done so myself)
There aren't any on the parcel.

What I would say make sure you use sound deadening, it makes the world of difference (no rattles and much imrpoved bass)

When I first got my 03 seven years ago I quickly swapped in my Alpine 9884 HU which made a big difference, and then upgraded the speakers to some £50/pr Alpines which were a definite improvement again. However, I did what everyone else recommends and used MDF speakers to go from 5" to 6" up front and 4" to 5" in the back. The problem with doing this is the MDF spacers then clout the door cards and mean you get increased reverberation and rattles etc. I'm sure there are ways to get around this but when those speakers started to fail I replaced them with higher spec Alpine units in the correct size. Not only did they fit so much better, they sound way better too. If you're making your own spacers then fair enough but if you're buying then that adds cost, and IMO you're better off spending that extra on higher spec speakers. I got mine in a sale from Car Audio Centre and went with SPG-10C2 for the back and SPG-13C2 up front. Relatively they're not even that high up the range, but they are really good and I wish I'd gone that way to start with. I see they're only about £40 a pair now too.

This is a link to fitting them and what they look like installed if it's any help for you:

I ended getting these from a breaker (JDM spec) realy well made speaker and sound is leagues ahead of other aftermarket I've used Pioneer Carrozzeria TS-J160A.

Rear speakers are a waste of time. Just spend all the money on front end installation with components. 6.5" can be persuaded to fit.

There you go.
