Apologies in advance to anybody I ever told that the T6 has 8" diameter door speakers.
In a shock peak behind the curtain that is the door card it turns out there is indeed an 8" hole in the metal tray that carries the window channels and gubbins with a plastic reducer fitted to hold, on my T6, a measly 6" speaker.
Is this what normally passes for a supposed 8" speaker on the T6 or was my 2017 Trend line originally specced with electric mirrors, A/C, front assist and ickle 6" door speakers?
I figure I'm going 8" but going to have to cobble up some plywood rings to allow for not using the VW plastic speaker reducer/holder.
Oh and the reason that original speaker was barely working was down to a water based partial detachment of the pole magnet where the glue holding metal to metal had died allowing the magnet to move a fraction and the pole had fouled on the voice coil former closing the gap to jam the cone.
I'm less bothered about the speaker having failed than I am at blindly accepting the premise that this is an 8" door speakers.
