	quote: Originally posted by James_DT He means without the adapter I think. nope WITH :( hence why i couldnt get a set of 17cm PG comps in there, not only wouldnt the magnet fit through the hole (can be solved by making it bigger) but the depth was over by about 7mm, so i had to go for 5cm versions of infinity comps, which fit perfectly. At worst mate, just try them :) But if it is abit of a tight squeeze, then spin the woofer around so the connections are on the bottom, then feed the cable through the bottom middle leg of the autolead adaptors (when you see them you will know what i mean) and then HOPEFULLY the connections will sit in the plastic bit of the adpator - thats what i had to do on my infinity's as the cable kept sticking to the window (after it had been raining etc) and ripping out the connections on the back of the woofer :( EDIT: Btw, my current comps press right up to the grill (i had to do alot of sanding on the back of the grils to get rid of the vertical support bars, which have helped alot)...but you could bring them out further by placing MDF rings or something on top of the adaptors......but you wont have a hells in chance of getting the door pocket back on, without ripping out the whole grill section in the door pockets and dooing something cosmetically to make it look nice etc (Which would mean using fibreglass etc etc).

MoNkEy MaGiC	posted on 30th Dec 04 at 02:01
	ok so 65mm mounting depth MAX, is this WITH or with OUT the Autolead speaker adaptors? as if it is with out then im sure it will fit as all i need is 5mm, and im sure the adaptors will give more than this!! got this from the alpine website for the SPR176a speakers... Woofer Mounting Depth (in) : 2-3/4" Woofer Mounting Depth (mm) : 70mm Woofer Mounting Diameter (in) : 5-3/4" Woofer Mounting Diameter (mm) : 145mm

	in a corsa B you have 65mm depth MAX on the mid-range woofer, otherwise it will get into the window track etc etc. on a C, im not sure, but i believe its slightly deeper with autolead adaptors :) And from what Mark has said magic (and from the picture) you need to do abit of fibreglassing around the original speaker part to bring it out about 20mm or so. If you cant be asked making them, then you can buy a pair of 17cm door pods, but there around 140 quid a set :(

	Can anyone recomment some 17" speakers that will fit in on the autoleads adapters and not foul on the window. Cause i really cant be arsed to make pods for them. So any speakers you could recommend would be gd!
MoNkEy MaGiC	posted on 28th Dec 04 at 21:12
	so even with the Autolead adaptors these 17cm alpine speakers still wont fir in corsa B standard door pods? :boggle:

	Im pretty sure they wont fit. You will most proberly need custom doors,
Doug	posted on 25th Dec 04 at 19:28
	You should have got a spacer kit from auto leads. Brings it out far enough to make them fit

	Just got a set of these for the front doors of my corsa C.Have got the autoleads fitting kit but the magnets etc are huge on the back of these things.There like mini subwoofers !!! Has anybody fitted these speakers in 17"s into there corsa C ? It looks like the windows wont go fully down if there in. [Edited on 25-12-2004 by Steve F]
