Doesn't look like anyone's answering, if you find out elsewhere aceman could you let me know.
Cheers

I'd be surprised if they were more than 5.25" in either classic or bugeye (fronts). Doesn't mean you can't get 6.5" in there, just that it would require spacers and a speaker requiring only a modest mounting depth.

Aceman.... you can get 5 1/4 in the front very comfortably
your'll find that the old units have a casing on the outer part of the speaker.. this fits nicely round your new replacement !


Chris... MY01 > the front speakers are 5" as standard but the doors will take up to 6.5". The rear doors are 4" as standard but will accomodate 5" with a little playing around.

The deciding factor is not necessarily the diameter, rather the magnet depth, as too deep a magnet will foul the window glass when wound down. the door panels will accomodate a MDF spacer of anything up to 18mm which allows for a fair range of speakers.

Hope this helps you both
