The rears are a 13cm / 5.25 inch one as well, I discarded mine and put in some nice Clarion components in the front, Pioneer 6x9's in the shelf. I did some stealth work on the shelf to get the tealeaves thinking twice.

A tip for the front speakers, check carefully the basket width on the back of the speaker, although the appertures are for 130mm units the onpening in the metal of the car door and plastic of the door panel can prevent propper mounting. I had to take a large hammer, a coping saw and some tin snips to mine when fitting a set of infinities. B!tch of a job, but now ammped up and singing sweetly. (when you get shot of the rattle's)

Makes a hell of a difference upgrading the orginal sound system in terms of sounds quality the standard unit was mono[xx(]. I got rid of the citroen headunit and purchased a kenwood 3021 tuner/cd player which is 50w x4 and is excellent value for money. Upgraded the front speakers with sony 13cm units, and later fitter pioneer 6x9s in the parcel shelf and associated wiring. Sounds a 100 times better know.[:D]

I had the standard Citroen Headunit for about 3 day's before I installed my Kenwood KDC-7090R Headunit. Just bought some Kenwood 170W Conponents for the front, and am looking at some 120W Coxaials for the rear. I have a 12" 700W Kenny Sub on the way to round things off.
For Now
