you can buy an adaptor kit to make other speakers fit from halfords/bass junkies etc
these cost about 20

If you want to replace the front speakers to ANY make, you will need to buy the autoleads adaptors anyway.

BTW on the box for the adaptors, it will say 13cm front adaptors for corsa, but you can also use these to fit 17cm speakers too.
