if they are not too deep they are a piece of pi$$ to fit, if they are a bit too deep, all you need to do is make a couple of MDF rings to space them out from the doors
tbh i got front components in my door and while there not done with the original wiring i used normal run of the mill speaker cable ( the thin copper stuff) and i can notice no reduction in quality. Im running alpine components off an amp (there like 150w max 50RMS blue with black middle) and notice no reduction in quality even at loud volume off my alpine head unit and get no distortion on high notes (used a test cd). My only problem was wiring the damn stuff through the door. Is there any good wayy to do this???????????????????????????????? my passenger door seems to have found a lucky place but in my driver door it cuts the wire every once in a while :/ Oh yeah and ive mounted my tweeters in an amazing place, on the top of the door card just back and in a bit from the mirror cover panel (mark1 clio RT) Teh gold alpine logo sits at the bottom look sso cool. Id posts pics but i need to get a new film for my camera. ciao
oh yeah and i only payed 40 quid for the compoinents and 30 quid for the amp 2nd hand. Remember the amp built into the head unit isnt that powerful so if your going for speakers that expensive its worth amping them up. Its amazazing how much of a difference it makes.
The amp in the head unit maybe powerful compared to the standard head unit internal amp but will never compare to a seperate amplifier. You really need to get a seperate amp to drive the components to their full potential. Ive not got a system in my 172 as yet but in my previous car I had Alpine DD Drive 6.5" components and they were amazing, only paid £150 for them new. I used an alpine V12 amp to drive them (4 x 120 watts) and my sub.
