Anyone know the speaker size in the front and back? Halfords is calling to me :)

Grill easy enough to pop out?

I can't remember it off the top of my head but I remember asking that very same question some time back - try the search function..

pretty sure it's 6.5" for the Front and 6x9 in the back...

search is your friend tho :-)

Well if that's the case I'm going to put the Xplod's from the felicia (back speakers and head unit) in the fto and I have my eye on JBL's in Halfords for front. They sound one of the best in the demo and resonably priced too!

Thanks guys.

Typical, sold out!

As a matter of interest, anyone know what facia would fit? No FTO mentioned in the halfords book obviously... :roll:

front speaker grilles just clip out.

I had to remove my back seat to fit the rear speakers. screwing in the rear screws is tricky enough as the back window gets in the way.

maybe try the stereo from the Felicia (I remember you mentioned it was good) with your existing speakers and see how that sounds.

That's the impression I got. So that's why I went to ebay and got them for E20 cheaper than their special offer price on them. :D
