Thanks Adrian, I presume the originals unscrew from inside the cabin?
I will have to remove them soon and measure the space

Nick,
a bit of investigation suggests that yes, to remove the standard speaker you have to lay, head first, in the footwell.
On Tarka, which has an Aero Chassis, there is about 3" between the back of the speaker cover and the bonnet. This suggests a much more meaty speaker might be fitted, such as the Focal PC100, but of course a waterproof cover would be needed and ideally it would be rigid and properly filled with wadding. A nice 4mm welded aluminium box, perhaps....!
