Hi everyone, another newbie here...

I've got a 2000 Fabia which I bought 12 months ago. I've put up with only the driver's door speaker working intermittently until now, but I really am getting sick of it.

I've got a couple of questions.

What size are the speakers I need to buy? Some seem to say 13.5 is the correct size, but they can handle up to 17...

If I do buy 17s, which seem to be far more readily available, do I need to buy adaptors etc to ensure it fits / works?

Any other handy tips before I start would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not looking for anything special (speakers-wise), I'm only thinking something basic (e.g.: http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/products/pio-tsg1722i-pioneer-ts-g1722i.html)

Sorry for the questions and thanks for any help you lot can provide!

Hello Sam and welcome along

You'll be better asking in the Fabia forum :yes:

Hi Sam, welcome!

This has been widely discussed. Yes 17s will fit but they need adapters. The other consideration is depth - the max depth the door can handle is about 64mm, most people aim to keep it well below 60 for ease!

There are those who buy Golf Mk 4 plastic adapters available on eBay, or those (like me) who just made their own out of MDF and then you are guaranteed a neat fit! It doesn't even have to look any good as it is getting covered up!

You will also be wanting some component speakers rather than co-axials. There is a tweeter situated in the door, just by the A pillar. Removal of the door trim is pretty easy, and straight forward.

Hi and welcome aboard.

Thanks everyone. Great answer, much appreciated.
