This is an interesting debate, but my thoughts (having taken the door apart for other reasons using Sean's guide) is where do you put anything?
It's all pretty tightly packed inside a D2, and the only "decent" sub I've seen described is MJ's which IIRC is in the boot and uses the ski hatch to emit sound into the cabin. Plus if you take a door apart you WILL need at least some of the door card clips (they break) and I thought I read somewhere that they're NLA. I've taken an "executive decision" having "upgraded" from a PF S8 with Bose to a non-Bose FL S8 to stick with OEM and enjoy the engine......

was anyone able to confirm the speaker sizes?
I was going to pull the door panels and take a look but MiL is not well so last minute diversion to Ireland for Xmas has left me unable to do anything hands on. research will have to suffice until the new year

suggest the front woofers are only 4" but can take 5.25" with a bit of a trim. surprisingly small if true

Yeah 4" is about right. They're pretty small but the ported enclosure makes a big difference. I left the Bose door speakers in place and upgraded everything else.

13cm in the original ported enclosures or direct on to the door card? I did think about printing an adapter to allow a larger speaker to be mounted to the door card, but thus far I haven't exceeded the capabilities of the original ported Bose units when backed up by a decent amp and subs.

That's the idea. Speakers I'm getting "should" fit inside the enclosure but time will tell.
