Not sure. Most of the time you need to make spacers for the speakers to fit.

Yes Paul it has to be taken the wrong way to be right. :twisted:

Ratty, I'm going to put crossovers in my 4th gen but where is the best location for them, I don't want them in the doors as ill have 2 sets of cables going out the door, and I don't want them in the boot with the amp because I don't want to run another set of cables down the side. So is there anywhere else to put them? They don't fit in the glovebox :( , I've tried
Or shall I stop being lazy and just put them with the amp?

Do you have a passenger airbag? If not, there is a huge void just above the glovebox where it would normally live. I stashed my Parrot Kit in there :D

I have the perfect place for them in a 4th Gen.

Behind the tweeter covers in the dash. The space behind there is HUGE. Just mount them in there with a couple of cable ties to secure them.

Just tried to fit one in there but it wouldn't go (well the drivers side), :? unless you mean behind the dash display?

Sod loads of room if you don't have a passengers airbag, I had my CarPC mounted there, on top of the glovebox
