Wait a minute, you didn't have rear tweets, so it must come from the rear mids for the read PDC, but check all anyway.
You are 100% right the first time the PDC beeps come from the mids ...
Well going say good night been up since 4 & its nearly 2am, gonna grab a couple of hours sleep, thanks for your help Johnny ...

Good Morning Johnny
Do you know the depth for each speaker, I need to order a set, I have the tweeters & installed the fronts, I need the max depth ... Bass front, Bass Rear, Mid Front & Mid Rear ...

I have an idea for the PDC Beeps, for the rear Im going to install Coaxial speakers but not use the twitters as Im installing the rear tweeters at the points I mentioned in my earlier post. I can re wire the Coaxial so I only use the speaker and the crossover to drive the external tweeters & use the tweeter on the main speaker for the PDC beeps at the rear, then just wire up the tweeters from the 23 & 24 plugs, saves installing extra speakers. Still thinking re the fronts ...

Example :-

Sorry Rico,
All I would have is the mids and tweets at home to measure, all the door speakers were gone from my vehicle when I got it, and I swapped the doors inner panels as complete units, so I never did any measuring.

To follow up on this thread that I'm closely following:

1. Mine is a 2005 LHD. If I were to replace all speakers, am I correct that I need:

1. (2) 6x9
2. (2) 6.5"
3. (6) tweeters (size?)
4. (2) 6.5" for the rear speakers, I'm guessing here.

And I'm a bit confused about retaining the parking sensor sounds with the Ben Hur and a new power amp. What was the final solution that worked?

Hello this is my posts, Im upgrading the entire system.
Keeping the stock amp as my friend Johnny very kindly pointed out how to get around the PDC beeps.
You're getting your speakers all mixed up ...
These are the sizes :-





Read the posts it explains how to get round the PDC Beeps, when installing after market amps ...

Ok today I removed the front door panel, to measure the depth (clearance) from front of the speaker to the rear avoiding the window, Front Bass speaker 7cm & the Rear Bass 9cm. This includes the spacer on the rear bass which is 4.3 cm. Now I can buy the right size speakers, The 6x9 I will have to make a surround to take a 16cm component speaker. I'll upload pics once the surround are made.
Heres a peek of the Door card and Speakers ...
