Is there any front door speakers which are a direct fit?
I've bought some edge speakers and they don't fit in the hole. I bought speaker adapters, the adapters don't fit the doo.
Tried soo many different ways to try and fit them in getting pissed off

FLI Comp 6s are a straight fit. Apart from the soldering of wires, fitting the cross overs and tweeters.
I think you can buy just the woofer as a comp5 or something.

the FLIs fit fine but I wouldnt recommend them. The Focal 165Vs i have are amazing but require spacers and you cant fit the original grille over them.

Its a completely useless part of the door card though...you can still refit original speakers with it cut and cant see it without removing speaker first.

I've got the Focals in mine. Took a fair bit if chopping with a Dremel and a pair of adaptors, those Focals are deep! I got the adaptors that come with the wiring extensions saving you chopping the original connector off, except I'd already chopped them off!
I might have a spare set of the adaptors kicking about.

I gave fitting the speakers another go.
Trimmed the plastic away and they still wouldn't fit, so I bashed a bit of the door metal back top and bottom and one is in!
Ran out of light so doing other tomorrow along with fitting the solid rear beam mounts
