the stock ones i'm sure don't have much of a response below about 120hz. the engine noise sort of makes up for this but it would be nice for a full range sound. i bought a maplin bass guitar speaker and it was dire indeed.

the sockets do look more 6x4 than 4" conical so they may provide a good air movement size.

how much would you be looking for? would be willing to split the set cause my front ones are still reasonable. per chance you didn't just sell a rev counter to a guy in suffolk did you?

I'd consider maybe having the front ones, if you did split the set?

my left door one - the cone is very mangled!

Prices are as follows...

For the front speakers - £5 + P & P - Vario Si

For the rear speakers - £10 + P & P - Vart

Hope these figures sound reasonable, and if you are interested just let me know! Appologies if i have sent emails to the wrong addresses, with all the different usernames different people have, it is hard to keep track of whos who and whos purchased what! However if i am right Vart has bought a clock and Vario Si has a rev counter! Anyhow chaps both parcels were sent today, 1st class recorded, and will hopefully be with you both either tomorrow (9th) or friday (10th)! If you can both let me know when thay arrive i would be gratefull!

Let me know about the speakers,

Cheers

I've bought some 4" speakers (bargain price - were £9.99) got them for £3.02... If they fit I'll keep them, else they go back!

The depth is 55mm, are these likely to fit?

It would help if anyone could show me a pic of a standard 4" speaker from a 300 door before I take the door bits off... Please?

That's a mk3 version - no idea if they differ?

Cheers Very Much,

Simon
