Astra standard fit speakers

[Matthew M]

Hi,

I want to change all my standard fit vauxhall speakers in the doors and the tweeters. Does anyone know what the dimensions of the speakers are in there at the moment? Do I need special adapters for the door speakers? Its an Astra Mk4.

Many thanks

Matt

6.5 inchers (for the fronts)

you will need the Autoleads adaptors to mount either 5.25" or 6.5 aftermarkets

Just reminded me, anyone tried these?

Thought they might be a (relatively) cheap and easy swap for my own Astra.

Easy fit? Gotchas? Any good?

They look ok - you'll still need the autolead adapters + some blue tack to hold the tweeters as well!

What speakers are you fitting? I can supply some decent VDO ones which come with free fitting kits for Astra 98 onwards. There is also a difference between 5dr hatch and the 3dr hatch/coupe speakers.

Fronts (all) are 130mm
Rears (5dr) are 100mm
Rears (3dr/Coupe) are 165mm

They sell on the Vauxhall website VDO 165mm for the back. Ive just bought 2 x 170mm Sony component sets for me Astra which for my sins I was told they would fit in there with Adpaters.

I hope your right - I must confess that I havent had the rears out in my 3dr SRi but looking at the grill they might be 130mm - the fronts are DEFINATELY 165mm (in a 3dr)

forgot to say I wasnt impressed with the sealing or rigidness of the plastic autolead adaptors so I used them as templates to make some adapter rings out of 18mm mdf
