I need to swap the front speakers in my touring.

Can anyone recommend any coax speakers that will fit in the front? I don't want to spend a fortune and can't be bothered with components and tweeters etc, so i'm after just a straight swap into the original fittments.

I did try a pair of Kenwood Dual Mag's i've got, but they were too deep.

Someone recommended these to me, but i'm not sure?

I plan to fit mine tomorrow but for exactly the same reason...easy to fit and good quality.

Once the full install is complete I am going to do a little write up from my experience, I hope it will be of use to people. I did some searching and I found the kapp for £59.99 + postage but the link is at home (and I am at work...)

Is the original wiring up to it or did you replace it?

Is it easy to do replacing speakers? i would like to do the same and dont want to get ripped off by ICE installers and there 'labour costs', i would like to replace the wiring as well with some chunky oxygen free wires.. and how do i get wiring to the rear panels in my cab? there is no speakers or wires!!

NEVER GO THERE!!!

they're a bunch of jokers.....i went there for a alternator swith charge relay, and the fools tried selling me a 0.5 farad power cap!!!

They also thought they could get 4 audiobahn subs (which need 3.5cuft each) into the boot of a nissan sunny,....when i had my back seats out to fit 4 15's that were in 1.9cuft boxes!!!

Biggest bunch of jokers i've seen!!! Even worse than MotorMax....

Mind you, not sure if it's the same people in other sites....the one i went to was in Derby, and i know they have other sites, but not sure if it's a franchise or the same people..!
