Hiya, folks.

Going well enough on my skunky 1990 740GL that I'm driving it more than half the time for my short commute to work. The 2 blown out door speakers (one front one rear) are starting to drive me crazy and I saw a good deal on some 5.25 inch speakers that I bought some .... and they don't fit. Like they're both too small for the opening but the actual cones are the same size.

I measured the new speakers using their templates and saw immediately that the surrounds are too small for the opening but they're not quite 6 inches.

The FAQ says the mounting depth needs to be less than 2 inches, but I measured mine at 2.5" deep - this can also depend on the magnet diameter though.

Anyway, does anyone have a good guide on exactly what fits without pointing to a website that thinks these cars have 4 inch dash speakers, no door speakers at all, and lists the round door speaker size for the rear deck (which takes oval speakers)

Cheers
Will
