A lot of people on here including myself have modified the original front speakers to accept 3.5 inch speakers (4 inch you have no room or anywhere to mount them) which fit nicely inside the stock housings. You have to take off the grills and then remove the old speker with a bit of creative cutting from a dremmel...

I have infinity speakers in front on my CQ, although a lot of others have used JBL 3.5 speakers. The difference is quite noticeable compared to the original ITT units... There was also factory option of an uprated front speaker by Blaupunkt although they were much good either lol

The rears are lot more easy to do as its all about how big the speaker magnet is on your new speakers as the hole in the bulkhead is quite small. To get the rear speakers out you have to unscrew the front cover from the back which is sandwiched between the parcel shelf. Easier to take out the parcel shelf to get them out. Have seen up to a 6x9 in the rear with only small mods to the parcel shelf to accept them.
cheers for that. any idea what power they are?
