AU front speakers

[damon90]

could some one plese tell me the bigest speaker that fit in the front dors of an au without any major modifications, thanks

[eXi7w0unD]

standard is 5x7, i think some 1 on this forum got a 6" or a 6x9 in his door, but he did modify it some.

[StealthAu]

alot of guys fit 6" speakers, just nead to make a spacer

[JoesAu]

get a decent brand 5x7

[ClassicAU]

I have 6.5" woofers in the doors of my car, all it needs is a bracket made up and your home free.

[kenz]

I got 6x9s in my doors with no mods : only cause I couldnt find 5x7s at the time

I put in the Alpine 5x7's, bit silly though as they are very deep and so trying to space them so they don't hit the window sliders meant they now touch the door trim slightly when turned up loud. it's annoying as you can really hear it sometimes. i should've checked before taking them home. Excellent sounding though i would steer clear next time. 5x7 splits

Pioneer 5x7's All the way

[TwistedEL]

I'm cheap my whole system except the HU & wiring kit came from Jaycar. Sounds pretty damn good too.

[blackers10]

should solve your issue fine..

[99XR6]

That's what I have to do as well ... as my Pioneer 6" splits touch slightly near the bottom of the grille.

[blackers10]

does anybody know the depth we have to play with??
before it hits the grille thing and the window??
as its a bit hard to measure with the door trim on??

I had the same issue at first with type R splits, was annoying so I ended up cutting some of the support ribs beind the speaker grill and trimming a bit off at the edge all behind the actual grill so you cant see it from the outside. So they no longer touch anything now.

Didn't even think about the depth at first thought they would just drop in, if I knew it was going to be so much work I would have just bought the 6.5" type R's. But now its all sorted i'm happy anyway.
