Speakers size on '01 XJ8 VDP
#1
![Question](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I need to replace front doors speakers on my 2001 VDP - Alpine system. What size should I get (I found contradicting answers), is it a direct plug & play replacement, do I need a mounting ring and a good link for where to get them. Thank you

this might not be the exact information you are looking for, but a factory replacement comes in at $65 from this dealership near washington DC
this website is inconvenient since it does not allow you to post a direct link, but you go here:
http://www.expresspartscenter.com/
scroll down a wee bit, then put in your car information
then on the next page you will see a list of categories on the left side, pick "console" then it takes you to another menu where you can pick "sound system" then choose "speaker" then choose "Front door"
I ordered a new parcel shelf subwoofer speaker from them and so far so good, it is an OEM alpine speaker replacement.
good luck

I don't know if the size of the premium speakers is the same as of the standard system, so the following information might not be suitable for your VDP.
Before I changed my speakers I took measurements of the speakers...
I have the standard sound system with no amp in the trunk and no tweaters in the a-column.
I exchanged all 4 door speakers to Magnat 2-ways and I am VERY happy with the outcome!!
I used Magnat XTR 216 and they are a perfect fit!

Attached are some pics I took of the old speakers...
HTH!

I decided on Polk Audio from Crutchfield:
