G'day Steve,
Do you mean for 6", if so, no there wasn't I didn't want to use spacers there so I used the 4" Vibe air splits, they were just a complete swap over. The spacers I got for the rear 6" were a perfect diameter for the speakers, there was just enough room to fit it all on those panels. Mick |

Ah I see. So 4" in the front and 6" in the rear.

I haven't written that idea off yet.
 But with that I wouldn't want adaptor rings. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧 |

just wrap some tape around it and get MAN hands
 Thats all I do, those holders work sort of but tend to snap/bend the blade by the handle, hence me not bothering with them |

Well your idea would work but I don't actually have a blade anyway.
I don't think a jigsaw blade would work very well.  Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧 |

When I purchased my gear, I was on my way to Sydney for a few days and thought about the 5" while I was away. On my way back home I dropped back into the audio shop and tried the 'low profile' in the Vibe range but when I offered them up to the dash I was pretty certain they were going to foul on the heater duct on the passenger side so I went the safe way, especially since the shop is 4 hours from home.

Yes it probably will, but if you ofset the center They will fit
I got them in my TD5 and you defiantly have more room in a puma Steve has been debating for a long time now  |

Oh well, live and learn I guess. I'm happy with the sound and if I don't listen to it with a 5" I won't know
. It was a matter of making a decision there and then and I wasn't too keen on cutting the dash to fit, the rear panels are cheap to replace if I stuffed them up 
I did have an issue with a tweeter stopping working, sent it back got a new one. Then it stopped working, so I pulled it and found a dry solder joint, re-soldered all It was probably the issue with the first one as well

And that's Steve's concern also. We have been discussing it for about 6 months. I have not fitted any, but had a good look in a mates puma, and did not see any major dramas. Yes you would have to enlarge the hole slightly but other than that  Over here going 5" gives you a far wider choice of components. I'm sure as soon as 1 person dose it others will follow. |
