More specifically, I think they are for pre-1986 245's. 1986 and newer have a plastic moulding that goes up the entire pillar to the headliner. Not to say they wouldn't fit 1986 or new because there is a hole in the pillar for a speaker but as I recall it was 3.5 inches. I had a heck of a time getting 4" Infinity's in that space in my 1988 245. As far as mounting speakers in boxes behind the 245 seat, I purchased boxes covered with black felt-like material, cut out as required and put 6" x 9" speakers in them for my son's 1979 245. Wiring ran under door sills. I don't think the sound was any better than the 4" in the pillar in my 1988 and the boxes were always in the way of cargo etc. I added connector plugs and that helped. But there is no need to spend $400 unless you want something exotic with a 10" -12" sub-woofer and separate amp. a generational thing I am sure...
