Hi blitz
the rear speakers are 130mm see here
and the fronts were also 130 mm see here
obviously its much easier to fit the 4 inch fronts without having to modify the plastics, but if fitting 4 inch I'd get the best quality for the price with the heaviest magnets
sound check below
sorry NineCherries only just seen your post, the new rear grabbers are so much better, it's supprising how sensitive the JImny is to tyres, I've put the problem down to having one new tyre on the rear axle mismatched with a part worn (edge worn) ex-front tyre :S . However, the backend still slides, but in a more controlled manner - but grabbers do have a poorer wet performance rating with the goodrichs being far better .... but that's for a later date (when I go large) and when a few more pennies have been saved :pinch:

No worries sir
the grabbers are on my possible list of new tyres hence why I was keen to check out how you got on. I can't be trying hard enough as I've still to have the back end step out.

If you are going to go through the effort of fitting front and rear I will just chime in and say dont cheap out on speakers.
The cheap ones may be alright at the start but in the long run I would much rather spend abit more and have a mainstream brand like JVC, Pioneer, Fusion etc
On another note, Halford is there wires for the rear speakers on both sides or just on the one side?

Rear speaker wires only on nearside (that's the side without the fuel filler for peeps who drive on the wrong side :whistle: ).
You'll need to run the cable to the rear right yourself
