5"x7" rear pod speakers

5.25" front door speakers, but they have to be the slim fitting ones, as the doors don't have much fitting depth. The ones I replaced where only 2.25" deep

I have a spare set of fronts Andy if need be.

Any links to these speakers?

Were they a component kit?

Yes they are a component set up, I have to tweeters moulded into the top of my A-pillers.

They are the Rockford Fosgate Power Components, serial T152S.

Heres the link, sadly they are not cheap

http://www.dnacaraudio.co.uk/index.h...nline/127/fruk

or

http://www.recommendedbuys.com/elect...gate-t152s.htm

or probably best here

http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/produ...n_US&p_status=

They sound fanstastic to me, handle loads of power and fit with no problems

AFL had a few sets in and were having a clear out.

It was there last set left - but it was missing all the wiring.

I soon haggled them down about Ł80 stating that "the wiring is the most important thing to create a pure sound" and some more bullsh*t

Anyway, I have plenty of wire from my old boot build, so that was that, job done
