  Wrong. See my previous post. I have BA 4x6s that fit perfectly. As Dan
(and my last post) pointed out, the key is to ask for speakers that are
"metric", as these will fit various European cars, including VWs. My
particular BAs are the CX7E model, I think the E is BAs notation for
European speakers. Alpine also makes metric sized 4x6 speakers, as do(or at
least did) Pyle, and probably many others. Pyles were not great, the Alpines
were about $100/pr when I priced them, and didn't sound nearly as good as
the BAs which were around $70/pr
