Anyone any idea what make /model of front speakers they fit to the max ? They look like they are surface mounted
I don't know the make/model. On the 'Max the speakers are, as you probably know, located at the lower forward edge of the door card. This is actually not an ideal location and there are two issues that result:
- The speaker cover trim is proud of the rest of the door card and is easily kicked and scuffed on entry.
- The trunking is shared with other door wiring (windows/lock solenoids) and chafes on the door hinges.
If you find a picture from the factory of the new Plus 8 variant of the Aero Chassis you will see that (unlike the SS/Max/Coupe chassis) it has circular cut-outs for the speakers in the tub forward/below the A-pillar - on the Plus 8 the speakers are not mounted in the door. I wonder if your Aero 8 doors are thinner than SS/Max/Coupe flush-fitting doors and more similar to the new Plus 8 doors. Had you thought of mounting your speakers similarly to the new Plus 8? - albeit you would have to cut the apertures using measurements from a new +8 as a guide.
