Can someone please advise what is the max mounting depth (front and back) for replacement 13cm speakers to fit behind the original grilles?
I keep getting conflicting info - someone has said to me 4.5cm yet the Pioneer and JBL websites say 3 inches??
Thank You
Kind Regards Mr-Lachs

I was hoping to purchase some online this evening, can't see the depth in the Wiki I'm afraid, I've asked in the ICE section weeks ago but i still can't find a figure online

Sorry for the bump but I'm going round in circles.

The depth of the recess in the A pillars is 70mm (I've just measured it), and the speaker mounts on the outside of the pillar, so 75mm sounds about right.
There's also scope to space the speakers off slightly without putting a significant bulge in the trim panel.
