    Default Speaker size of front speakers.

    Not really an important issue, but the passenger side speaker in the dash has died, and I'd like to replace it. What size are they?

    Use different brackets... or bend the existing ones slightly so that you can use the existing 3 and have normal 4 inch speakers held in via 3 screws...

    That all good if you still have the plastic to mount the screws into. Some heavy handed tool has figured that bigger screws would help and split all the plastic mounts. I have 1 screw in place for each speaker and Selleys All Clear on the other mounts. - Stopped the rattle at least. But am considering ripping the dash pad out and replacing it....
