    Default VT door speakers

    hey guys,
    just wondering if 6 1/2 inch clarion speakers will fit in the door holes in a VT wagon.
    just bought some 180w clarrion SRR1616 speakers and am hoping that they fit.
    i asked the guy at Autobarn and he said they will go straight in.

    mate do a search.
    they might or might not.
    my 6.5inch alpines needed a new pod to be made of mdf. and then my naka's needed the pod enlarged even more.
    you will probably need to do some cutting but you can never really tell how much.

    yes and they usually have small baskets and as a consequence are easier to mount.
    if i had to rate ease of speaker installation it would be something like this (easiest to hardest): cheaper brands (boss for one), normal brands (sony, alpine, clarion) and then nakamichi and i am assuming other more expensive brands. the more expensive brands (nak, MB and boston (i know its not many, but i dont work in the car audio industry )) and espicially there "flagship" models, i have seen have larger baskets, that extend rapidly from the mounting flange to the magnet to allow better permormance and as a result are hard er to mount.

    to be honest the way I have seen it is a case of the POPULAR brands fit with ease...the non-popular brands are just plain arseholes.

    I agree with ya 12 volt, I have a saying that goes 'The cheaper the Audio equipment, the harder it is to fit' I have installed some pretty cheap shit, and for some reason they seem to take longer to install than brand name stuff.....As an example i put a headunit in a car the other day and it was a cheap brand and the unit had massive heat sinks on the back of the unit so that made it longer than a brand name unit......As a result took me twice as long to fit......(Damn u cheap shit!!!)

    Lets work as a TEAM and do it MY WAY!!

    and that wasn't what I said at all.

    Nakamichi is one of the top brands but it isn't popular (I guess the price tag has something to do with that) and it is a pain in the arse to fit. Especially the HU as they have an external power supply that you also have to mount.
