vert speaker size

[T1KARMANN]

anyone know the size of the speakers in a vert

[The Cheat]

rears are 6 3/4" midbass with a 1" tweeter.

fronts are 3-way, 6 3/4" sub, 3" mid, 1" tweet.

the dash pod will take a 4x6 plate, meaning you could have a nic set of 4" components in the dash pods, and put a decent 6.5" sub in the door (yes, they're out there, and yes, your sound WILL suffer without it).

in my jetta, it's laid out the opposite way...the subs are in the back doors. in any case, with the convertible, i would think you would want the bass where it'll be most noticed, in my opinion the trunk of any beetle is too small to really provide enough airflow for a good sounding setup, so for me, i'd put them in the front doors.

case in point: toad has 1 alpine type-s 12" sub. in his fox, it sounded ok. in his audi (which has probably 3x the cubic footage of trunk space), it sounds phenonemal. same sub, same amp, different trunk.

when you start getting into upgrading speakers in such a small car, it pays to think outside the box and get a little creative.

also, interesting tidbits of info:

the dash pod and tweeters run at 8ohm. the woofers are 2ohm. 2ohm means you can get some NICE home audio subs designed for cabinets (but also lend well to car doors) for CHEAP (tang band is a favorite).

the monsoon amp will handle 4ohm nicely though on the 8ohm channels. in place of my dash pods on my 2001.5, i had clarion 4x6 plates (which are essentially 4" components) tucked under there, and what a world of difference.

the sky is the limit for audio, it just depends on 3 key factors:

1: money
2: time
3: desire

get all three right, and you could have a massively awesome system for under $1000, or you could go for broke, and spend $10000. either way, there's not much difference between the $300 pair of speakers and the $600 pair of speakers, for instance.

i got the size you said 165mm for the front doors and they are to small

im hoping they fit in the rear now

[The Cheat]

165mm will fit in the back, the back is a little more forgiving, the fronts have to be 6.75" no matter what unless you make a spacer.

[T1KARMANN]

i have the autoleads spacers which are meant to be for NB all front doors but even they are to small

its a bit harder to get the backs in as you need to take all the side panel off

the rear small speaker grill looks smaller on the rears so im hoping they will fit fine

[T1KARMANN]

right the backs fit fine

the front maybe able to fit a 200mm

im still not sure
