Speaker info needed

[Pinny]

Sorry if its already been asked a million times, just registered on site and am overwhelmed by all the helpful advice!

Anyway, just started installing a system, bought a £200 alpine ipod headunit, new 10" sony sub (cheap, but any good?) in small custom enclosure (made to fit over wheelarch). Thats as far as i've got. Yet to buy an amp but after the Alpine 700w 2 channel for sub (about £120) and upgrade the front speakers.

Firstly, do the speaker grilles front and rear come off or is it a door card/panel removal jobbie?

Second, if so what size are front and rear, and is there enough clearance for co-axials behind grilles? I heard for componants the dash has to be removed to replace tweeters.

Sorry for essay, cheers guys (and girls?)

yes the grills just pull of with a bit of force , 5 inch front speakers and 4 inch on the back ~

both front and rear are 13cm (5.25in). the fronts if you fit components the dash top needs to come off to change the tweeters/run the wiring...
grills pull off

Oh, seems simple! Went to a top end audio shop and they reckoned they would have to remove door card for definate - they said it was all one moulded piece, so i just took their word for it, havn't bothered to look myself yet!

Is the dash off a big job?

No the dash-off is easy, I've seen mine come off in the workshop.

Undo all the screws and pop it off

As for speakers, I will confirm both front & rear are 13cm or 5.25"
