Rear speakers cabby?

Hi what should I be looking for in speakers so it will fit in a cabby in the rear?

size and depth is the main issue, heard 12/13cm can fit but 10cm goes in much easier, assuming you dont want to have the grill sticking out.

i went for a 10cm Pioneer 2 way and they sounded ok - as far as such a small cheap speaker can sound ok!

I've fitted Alpine SXE1325s, they're 13cm and fit perfectly.

Depth is an important thing to take into account as there is not much space behind the doorcard. I had to make some custom speaker covers as my speakers had too much depth.

That looks good. Only thing RMS is bit low as my amp is 4x75rms.

Possibly so, I'm only running straight from the Alpine head unit, plenty good enough for me.

The speaker size is 13cm. Why would you want to reduce the diameter when you don't need to?

my standard ones were 10cm Nakamichi speakers, never thought to try 13 cm to be honest!
