yep, the standards are 6.5" or 16.5/17cm. they'll all fit, just watch for the mounting depth if you don't want to start cutting.saying that tho it's not difficult. just pop the door card off and saw out a bit of the plastic where the speaker sits. http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=99268&page=1 pics to show. ________________________________________ Never underestimate the power of De-Nile.Friday afternoon car, built in France....  306gti6.com Stickers available, pm me for details. or email MjStones83@hotmail.com Sticker Thread with pics |

Yes RMS is what you need to look out for. If running off a headunit buy a speaker with around the headunit figure normally 50watts. Component means you will have a separate tweeter normally which will included a cross over that you will have to hide somewhere, behind the door card is fine. And most will need a hole somewhere for the tweeter ie the wing mirror plastic back. If your not confident then a set of two way speakers would be easier to fit. ________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi 6 (Standard) SoldPhase 3 Supercharged China GTi 6 (249.8 BHP) Sold Phase 3 Supercharged Diablo GTi 6 (443 BHP)Sold Nissan 350Z (300 BHP) |

You wont find a headunit with rms figures, they are always max power, my 2004 alpine headunit is 4x60w, so would be about 4x25-30wrms For the best sound quality and sound staging, your not realy suposed to have any speakers in the back, just a small sub. I'd go for a top of the range alpine headunit. With regards to the speakers, you can get coaxils, these are simple speakers that have the tweeter built into the centre of the speaker and can be had pretty cheap, then you can get 2 way components, these have a seperate tweeter, which can be mounted anywhere within reason, in a 306 they would go on the A-pillas or where the interior wing mirror covers are, you can get them pretty cheap aswell, but you pay for what you get. Genesis, focal, phoenix gold, hertz, rainbow are some of the top quality brands. ________________________________________ Dimma + Gt35 turbo =Solid rear beam mounts £130 07889376885 Dan |

Careful with the front speakers if yours is an early phase 306, or at least have a good word with people about moving the damn window regulator or doing something with it, as it doesn't allow speakers to be any deeper than 56mm if i'm correct, in other words no big magnets!________________________________________ VW Golf GT TDI 115, 100k nooooooooooooooooooooo! |

i got slapped in the face with a re xxx. makin sure it was mounted properly and my mate turned it on with my head next to it with a bit of three 6 mafia. ouch.i can personally recomend rainbow and genesis as i use them both. as said above, old pg stuff is good not new stuff. mate of mine has a set of focal comps costing near 3k in the day. sound fookin ace with old pg amps and a alpine f1 status. ________________________________________ ***Breaking*** Ph3 Silver GTI 6 High Boost |
