Default XJ8 door tweeters

Hi
Does anyone know how much space their is for an aftermarked door tweeter in the XJ8? - it is very tight and it is hard to judge how much space their is. I would like to install a Polk audio dB5251 2way comp set in all 4 doors in the original location, tweeter dimensions is diameter 2-1/16" and deapth is 1-1/4".
I would feel very silly buying this set and not beeing able to install the tweeters - so if someone has a good idea, maybe from their own speaker replacement experience, your inputs are highly appreciated

I have a similar question. I have a 01 VDP XJ8, and the tweeter in the driver A-pillar is toast. I have pulled it out, and have not found a replacement online. Is there an equal aftermarket alternative? Mine is 1 and 3/8 inch diameter (round) and about 3/4 deep with wire connections. Ideas?

Follow his link...this is for Alpine equipped vehicles any ways...

Click on partners, then at the top right corner, click on Jaguar, then select your jag.

According to that they are 20mm dome tweeters, which translates into them being smaller than 1 inch...25mm is an inch. It's hard finding speakers that will fit...I've been looking to try to find the ones that are on the front dash...it's a strange size
