Those speakers will fit in the openings... just not with the aktiv system. You'll need to get a new head unit and run some new wires, but they fit fine... that's how my car is currently set up. Sounds decent, but if it's not done already cut out the cardboard door panel behind the speaker pocket. Does wonders for the midbass response of those 5.25's... _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
