Can anyone help?
I am trying to source new rear speakers for my 86' convertible. I am struggling to find ones that fit. They are either too deep or the magnet diameter is too big?
I am not looking for anything fantastic or expensive. I am simply looking at upgrading to a DAB Bluetooth head unit and want to upgrade the original speakers front and back.
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Pretty sure they are Rav, bear in mind that there is next to no room behind the speaker panel so you'll need speakers with a small magnet, slim line ones.

Thanks for the responses!
Those Alpines look like they will do the trick.

Any other suggestions if the Alpines won't fit?
I have also been told the In Phase SXT 5's will fit?

I wouldn't buy "In Phase" as i've heard alot of negative stuff about them.Gavla wrote:Any other suggestions if the Alpines won't fit?

I have JBL GTO's in the rears on the cab, can't remember the exact part number, but they fit.

IIRC, they were a very tight fit.
I can't remember the model number as I don't have the car here, it's alocked up for the winter about 30 miles away
