If i'm right I believe its a four inch speaker your going to need. You could also get pods for the inner arch and or mount some tweeters on top of the dash, this will give a better sound stage, I'm sure Ruckus will be able to advise you :)

I've got 4" Focals in mine, needed a little trimming of the dash to fit but look perfect when finished! Almost like they were there all along... Plus they sound awesome! :D

Check my thread in this forum from a few days ago called 4" Too Small?, was recommended not to use 4" speakers as 5 1/4" give a much better all round sound, you can mount them BEHIND the dashboard so the sound comes out the 4" hole, then just cover the hole in a mesh.

I have 4" ones mounted on the rear of the dash and have remodelled the air-vents to fit grills so the speakers are discretePosted Image

How do they sound? Also you got any pics of fitting them? Do they interfere with the mounts on the dash?

I saw in one of the mini magazine issue's that some one mounted tweeters in the actual eyeball vents. was kind a cool looking, and you'd be able to direct them in any direction.
