fronts are 10cm and rear are 13cm. but no point really... the depth of the rear speaker socket is quite shallow. it will make the best speaker sound average. there is plenty of room for the front speakers. but again, getting a very good 10cm speaker is difficult. if at all, they r expensive. the quality of music will not justify the amount u spend on it.
u rather spend on a good exhaust and listen to REAL MUSIC. :D
and let others listen too... :lol:

Are the standard one cack (mines are Clarion ones, dunnoe if thats the same as yours)? I thought it was just the Elise accoustics that made them sound cack TBH.

The head unit is cack but once replaced speakers work ok (ish).

Clarion speakers standard.

I shoved in a Sony Xplod MP3 player thingy instead of the standard Head Unit... does the job nicely.

Mine has Alpine speakers fitted, dunno if thats standard on the S2 of my age but I didnt fit em.

Sounds ok after changing the crappy head unit to a decent Alpine one but only when in traffic when its possible to actually hear it.

Thinking of some sound proofing for the floor! :shock: Or will that get me banned from SE? :oops:
