Title: Mk5 front speakers and rear.
Post by: mk_boy85 on May 24, 2014, 09:41:58 pm

I'm wanting to upgrade my speakers preferably components up front and co-axials in the rear but I want them to fit in the standard locations.

What sizes are they and do I need any hardware to adapt anything ?

You will need speaker adaptor rings for the larger speakers in the front doors.

Tweeters are normally a straight fit

Mids are the pains as the door curves around in a stupid shape and the magnets on most replacement speakers are much larger than the stock ones.

I have Hertz ESK163l 3 way components in my fronts and the mids are not in currently because couldn't find a way to get them to fit....

I get you. What do you need for the rears ?

can't remember i would just whip off the door cards and check to be sure or check on line as they're going to be listed... think it's a mid and a larger 16cm speaker but not sure.
