Alpine Type R or Type S speakers dont fit?
WHile i was searching on crutchifled, using the outfit my car option, when i look at the alpine speakers, it says it will not fit the car? Anyone in here that can prove them wrong??? Need help as i just got the New Alpine IDA-001 ipod HU and now looking to upgrade only the front speakers.They work fine, but cannot handle the full power of the HU. only around 70 percent . Thanks

I think that it says most speakers won't fit our car... you're going to need some new baffles I believe to make most speakers fit. ED has a set for our car:

They're basically adapters.

the stock front interiors are actually very good for stock speakers and sound great when EQ'ed and crossed over correctly. the backs are so so. they can't handle any bass below 80hz very well. so i faded the rears out a little bit.

Nothing will be a direct replacement for the stock speakers. There measurements are based on a baffle of a certain size for the depth (I'm guessing) which is why they would say the Alpines don't fit. My type-ss were installed on 1/4" mdf (idiot installers) so the window would clank against the back of the speaker when it was rolled down. The installers solution was to dynamat the back of the speaker. But I would argue that constitutes not fitting. Get the baffles from eD and any 6 1/2" component set will fit just fine.
