6.5" from memory, but I could be wrong.

Also, you'll need to either i) buy a mounting ring kit, ii) make up some mounting rings from MDF, or (my option) iii) rip the paper cones out of the existing set, hacksaw all the plastic spokes off, and remount the new drivers. It sounds a bit complicated, but is reasonably obvious when you see it.

There's also useful snippets in several articles on SpyderMagazine (http://www.spydermagazine.com/)

Smallest size you can fit in without addapiting plates are 6.5" |(well done guys)

But as i done this weekend you can fit 6*9's in teh front door's the pods i made are a bit time consuming but they do fit and WOW   s:shock: :shock: s:shock:   they sound amazing!

This  now means that you can by a 3 way compentent set consisting of 8" mis bass and a 5" mid range witha  1" tweeter and witha  bit of jiggery pokery it all can fit and sound sweet   s8) 8) s8)  

i Would recomend if you want to stragth swap the speakers would be the focal polyglass 165a, they sound asume and i had a set very nice!
