    Talking Found the holy grail.....

    Alpine SXE-1025S. Built to be quite shallow so, as I found out, very easy to install into Nova MK2 dash.

    You can give them some serious pasty and they'll deal with it too.

    Motorworld have them at a great price too.

    I can testify that these took literally 2 mins to fit (once i had dial surround off). I've tried Kenwoods before, and were biatch to fit, these were great.

    I had some of those about 5 years ago in my old saloon. As per the norm for Alpine, great sound, but very fragile.

    Yeh they do look it. You can push them hard, but sending them just that little too far it sounds like you're seriously killing them. Haven't yet though.

    SXE is Alpine's entry level model line, so I'm not surprised at the cost at all tbh. Might have to get me a pair though, need some new speakers.
