G'day,
I'm researching a new stereo system for the 450 I've just bought.
The car's not arrived yet, so can't do the measurements myself and searching don't yield much info.
I understand there's some restrictions in the types of speakers that will fit and I want to know the maximum depth of the speaker mounts on the front dash and rear parcel shelf.
Example:
Front forward facing 4" speaker depth = XXmm
Rear parcel shelf 5.25" speaker depth = XXmm
Thanks,
Chris
Is yours the early style with small grill down low? Or newer where it's on top of dash? If the former you need a VERY small speaker. I can't recall dimensions but it had a tough time finding one that fit, and then it took a lot of fiddling. My car is at another site but in the next few days I'll take a look. The rear speaker is less troublesome. Depth is limited by the top of the gas tank. Unless you get something with an absolutely gigantic magnet you ought to be ok. I installed a free-field Pioneer subwoofer in the first aid box cut out, likely bigger than what you'd put in the stock cut-outs. No problem, sounds great. Cheers,

Mine has the front speakers down low, facing the driver and passenger. From what I understand, there shouldn't be any clearance issues with a 4" speaker.
Like you mentioned, there are clearance issues in the rear shelf, due to the fuel tank. Most 5.25" speakers have a depth of 48mm an I wondered if they'll fit.
Cheers
