Default Replacement Speakers in a C5

I understand the stock Bose speakers in the front doors of my 2003 C5 are 3 1/2 diameter? Will a 4 inch diameter speaker fit into the same cavity/box without having to do any mods outside of drilling a couple new mounting holes? Don't want to find out different after pulling the door panels off.

There is a wider selection of 4" speakers then 3 1/2. Like Cerwin Vega seems to have only one 3 1/2 speaker option.

Call Dennis at Double DD, he'll fix you up with any kind of adapter you need to make it work

No
3.5 only.
I use a lot of JL Audio C2 350 for front replacements

Thanks DD, I'm still partial to Cerwin Vega. Just like the sound but they only have one 3 1/2 available. At least that eliminates my indecision! LOL

By the way is that a core shifter in your pic? If so how do you like it?
