Front speakers 5th gen

Does anyone know if these would be a direct fit into the lude - http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/speaker ... ent-system

I don't really want to muck around with mounting brackets etc. so direct fit would be ideal.

Unlikely as those mounts stick out all 4 corners.
You will have to measure, maybe download the speaker manual and make a paper template and see if it slots in. On the 5th Gen you only need to take the speaker grill off and speaker out to test.

@RattyMcClelland Ah, I see what you mean. I don't think they will go in looking at that pic.

So, what is the best course of action? A mounting bracket? I assume the whole door card will need to come off for speaker and tweeter replacement.

I fitted 5.25" components straight in with no modifications.

A 6" speaker should fit. I always use mdf spacers. I squeezed 7.1" speakers in mine but allot of work, fibreglassing, metal cutting etc to clear the big magnets.

Ah so 5.25 inch speakers will all fit in without modification right?

Yes, this is my car... no modifications needed

Thanks @Greg what speakers did you put in? As in brand/model etc.

No problem. They are an eBay special, I found some Kenwood KFC-PSR51P 5.25" speakers cheap and relatively period to the cars era which helps as its something I get weirdly obsessed with
