I've had a look around but can't see that many 16cm models now without quite 'loud' grills but I suppose it's personal preference.

Are you certain its the speaker that's faulty and not a break in the wire?
They do tend to fracture in the gap between the door and the tub.

Yes, my wire had broken somewhere speakerwards of the connector just inside the tub.

Thanks for the recs Brett.
The Fli looks good on paper, but the design is a bit too loud for me. The Pioneers that came out were very sleek/minimalist design which is what I normally like.
Maybe I could just take that outer casing off.
From the looks of the photos for the Fli I think you'd get away with it. They show it without the outer casing and with enough holes in the outer edge you'd have a good chance of lining some of them up with the existing speaker casings. Not a price you can go far wrong with either, what's that in the UK now, 2 or 3 gallons of gas?

I'd buy the Fli ones and spray the grill black

Do you still have the original covers? Might fit onto a new speaker, thereby discarding the brash covers? Could take the cover to Halfords or an Auto shop and ask?

These look a lot like the stock items. Nice and discrete. No idea on exact fit though

components split the sound, so you have a crossover which is a small fag packet type thing, this sends mid/low bass signals to the larger door speakers and high frequency to the small tweeters which are directional so normally dash mounted.

I always go with Alpine, my entire system is Alpine and it sounds superb, their 16cm speakers are extremely competitively priced
If you're able to make use of your existing grills then these might fit the bill

I thought 16cm speakers were too big as a direct replacement and 13cm were needed?

Mine are Diamond brand, subtle finish and good fit. Have to say I don't think it's worth spending a lot in a TVR - otherwise you're listening to the wrong soundtrack.
