Yes Joe, the speakers are round 6.5 inch - and made of paper.

They are glued and/or spot welded to mounting rings. You need to separate the old speakers from the mounting rings and then attach the rings to your new speakers. I drilled them and used small bolts, but you could probably use epoxy.

It only takes a couple of minutes to pop the door panel off and then everything will become clear to you.

We took the old speaker to a car stereo shop and asked them what they had. Ended up buying some pioneer three-way speakers with metallic cones for about 40 quid. They are quite shallow so they fit easily into the door. I'm not a stereo expert but they sound pretty good to me.

We previously replaced the rear speakers with some two-way Alpine 6x9's. That was a much more difficult job.

Phil.
