Yes it will mate but to get the most out of them you will need them amp'ed, well worth it and a small amp wont cost the earth

you can fit 5.25 in the front with normal apators, OR 6.5in if you order the adaptors from the US (well worth doing)

the rears are replaced with 4in, or 5.25 if you use the adaptors.

seems like a very reasonable price for those, will sound good off a aftermarket headunit, but even better from a small amp.

whats your budget, could put a few ideas forward for you

Small budget at moment, spending lots on the whole car and running thin on £££

they look like great value for money, so just get a pair of them for the front, and leave the rear standard. not much else out there in that range that i would recommend.

also the bonus is if you decide to upgrade, they will fit in the back, if you decide to fit 6.5 up front.

someone else mentioned this, im waiting for a review of such thing, the ones i heard a few years back were pants, and i would have spent the money on an amp and better from speakers, but i hear good things from the latest brands.

id like to hear one myself, and give a fair review compared to just amped speakers, or a normal sub set up.

I've seen a couple you tube vies, and they seem to do the job, but I know it's not like being in the car and listening.

I might try those Vibe for the front first, what head unit to get too,

It needs ton have iPod control, and maybe Bluetooth phone kit.

good headunit here...

http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/alpine-cde125bti.html

includes the ipod cable which is £20-25 on its own, and a very good built in bluetooth handsfree, which i have and works perfectly...

plus a big selling point for those wanting to match there interior lighting

different switchable illumination colours to match the dashboard display of the car, with a choice of either blue, red, green or amber.
