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.

[matt_vaughan]

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.

there not bad, got MB quarts in mine. Pricy but put em in throw all you've got at them n you'll be really unlucky to ever need to replace them.

sorry but i cant seem to get any speakers to fit in my mk2 dash anyone explaint how these fit??? many thanks

[matt_vaughan]

Just like any other speakers would fit, 4 bolting points in chassis of the speaker usually.

Its just these speakers are really shallow. Still have great quality from them.

Dont expect bass, but I dont have any bass running from them anyway, as I have other larger speakers and subs for that. Just great for higher frequence vocals.

2 way speakers include a woofer and tweeter, whilst three way speakers add in a midrange output as well.

This is a typical three way speaker, note the midrange and tweeter outputs:
