Default Simple door speaker upgrade

I have spent hours looking through the forum - figured it would be easier to ask the question directly.

I want to upgrade all the speakers in MY07 S,
1) anyone got any suggestions for which door speakers will drop straight in - without any cutting.

2)Are there any speakers (not tweeters) that can be used to upgrade the roll bar speakers?

before anyone says it - my headunit has already been upgraded (pioneer deh-p75bt).

cheers

I have upgraded the radio (pineer DEH p75bt).

I would rather avoid cutting the stock speaker baskets if possible. Looking for the easiest upgrade possible.

I have two 6.5'' Alpine Type-R speakers on my doors with a Pioneer. It's a great combo. I just need to upgrade my tweaters. I believe w/ most aftermarket 6.5's you have to cut the basket. The magnets are too big for the basket.

Just make some spacers out of MDF and keep your baskets. Then you can put almost any speaker in there.

Nah, you can just make spacers/adapters out of MDF, cutting the baskets is just less hassle.

Ok, I give in cutting is inevitable. Like the look of the alpine type R. I presume these don't impinge on the window or mechanism??

Crutchfield are good - don't deliver to merry old England though. But also recommended the alpines


Any ideas on the headrest speakers? I don't even know what size speakers will fit.
