Anyone had these fitted in a Tamora/350?

What size and make do TVR use?

How much do they charge?

Thinking I'll DIY some but would like to use similar spec speakers.

Thanks

Ours has them fitted in the doors. I know they are definately not Pioneers (as per the rears).

Older cars had an optional pod mounted high on the door. I ordered 2 pods from the factory (through my dealer) - cost around 40 pounds to have them supplied trimmed in my colour leather. You have to be careful fitting them, but it is a DIY job. I fitted my original 10cm rear speakers into these pods.

Newer cars have small flat stylee speakers where they should be - in the door pocket area. I'm not sure how effective these are as I've never listened to them in anger.

You can get 12-13cm speakers in the back of the T350 with minimal cutting around. 6x9s fit with a few tweaks to the boot solenoid fitting.

In a word.... crap!.... I'm looking at ways of upgrading my front speakers now, but i dont like the 'pods' as i think they look cumbersome and tempting for thieves to easily smash a window in and rip out.

I think there are only 2 places to put them in the Tamora (presumably 350 also) door - either small speaker through the pocket (not particularly attractive) or bigger (around 4-5" speaker at shoulder height just under the window towards the rear of the door.

My Tamora has 5.5cm NTX speakers fitted in the doors and they do a great job filling the sound out and adding that extra bit of detail. It might be worth visiting a dealer to have a listen?
