Hey  Frank --- I'm assuming these fit in the front doors --- did you put them
in  the back as well?

Doug, yes, I put them front and back.  One  small problem you may encounter
which Chris brought up and I had forgot to  mention before.  The early Vanagon
OEM speakers are not as easy to cut  apart to get the grille cover as they are
held to the door panel with that big  plastic nut on the back so that when
you cut the grille off your gonna have to  drill and countersink four holes in
the rim of the grille cover to hold it and  the new speaker to the door.  If
you can find the later version Vanagon OEM  speakers, Chris says '88 up, they
are held to the door panel with four  screws so when you cut off the speaker
from the grille you can easily install  that grille with the new speaker.
