What a small world it is! To cut a long story short, I was visiting a restorer of racing cars from yesteryear as part of a job. While waiting to speak to somebody I waited on the balcony... where I obsereved quite the collection of cars. Mental trail was something like this; "Oooh... a...

Howdy dudey. Just wonder, what size are the OE reno speakers? I'm looking to change them, my HU is just 4x50watt, so they only need to handle 50watts, I know ICE-Freaks would say you HAVE to replace the wiring... but it looks like a ball-ache... what difference are we talking with OE wiring...
