[chuky]

[color=#FF0000:post_uid0]For those of you who have ever read the "Audio Upgrades" article on the 323f.net page (July 2001), there was a list of 5 x 7 speakers that were available at the time... what is below is a current list (Jan '03) of 5 x 7 speakers....

for those who are wondering what the deal with the 5 x 7's is, this is the size speaker that was fitted as stock in the front doors of the BA 5 door 323f Hatch (94-98 model).... hope it helps anyone out there who's tryin to source some simple audio ugrades for thier car...

[color=#000000:post_uid0]hertz, JL and JVC also make 5x7s

it's not that hard finding brands which make 5x7s, it's actually getting ur hands on a pair which is hard... cause most stores just have display models and only order them in on request, and that takes ages.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]And add Boston Rallye RC820 to that list.
Had a set in my first installation, very clean, punchy things, if a bit bright.

Having said that, it is quite simple to make up an mdf adaptor that takes a 6.5" driver and screw it into the holes for the original 5x7, so the world is your oyster really and you are not at all limited by a choice of the 5x7s on the market.[/color:post_uid0]

Keep in mind some of the model numbers may vary between markets.. for example those JBL 5x7's look like a different model number than the Australian ones..
