Standard door speaker size

[mchenryg]

Hi guys

A bit of a random question, is there a standard size to the speaker holes in the Chim 97 door panel?
I need to order some new speakers today but I have no idea of the size and I dont have the car with me.

Any help will be great

Giles.

16cm I believe but wouldn't swear to it.

140mm nearer the mark..... i think

Have heard people say they are 5 ¼”, but you need to be wary of the trim around the outside of the speaker if you want to fit them in the original position, else you may clash with the door trim.

Also be aware of the speaker depth – some are more slim line than others, and a really deep drive unit may not allow the speaker to seat properly.

This guy has detailed his install (using 5.25” Focal slim line units).

I'm taking mine out to fix my window tonight/tomorrow I'll be able to measure it if you like :-)

Hey, can help you with this one, spent hour last night in halfords sizing them up!! Best fit and best sound for me were

FUSION encounter 5.25" component speakers EN-CM5250.

180 watts, rms 50 watts, mounting diameter is 119mm or 4inches and 11,16ths

They fit quite flush, look good, easy to fit, have 4 hole screws as opposed to three in original, and they sound really good, come with tweeters but did not bother fitting them, hope that helps, oh, and soy pioneer etc were all the wrong size, either bulky, or too wide or too deep, these have a mounting depth of 54mm, as i said, bought from halfords and i well pleased.

Cheers

That's great news, thank you all so much for your help. I will nip down to Halfords and look at the Fusion ones.
Thanks again
