Default Door Speaker Replacement

Do the Boston Acoustics S35 speakers (3.5")fit the C5 doors? I have a new pair I will give to my buddy if they fit his car.

I have those exact speakers in the doors of my 02 coupe. They fit fine and sound terrific

They should fit with an adaptor. The factory Bose speakers are larger.

Also, if he intends use these with the Bose H/U, the may not work very well. I think its an 8 ohm vs 4 ohm thing. You should post the question on the "audio equipment" page.

The 3.5 Twiddlers in the upper portion of the door are standard 4 ohm speakers. The Blose subs in the doors are what makes it unique

3.5" tweeters simply bolt right in as replacements. I replaced my bose tweeters and it was simple.
