Worked a treat
I just did a changeover from old blown ones, using the info at http://www.mazda-madness.co.uk/2010/11/ ... -speakers/ - fitting was a doddle, as promised.
I couldn't easily find inexpensive 3.5" or 4" ones locally, but eventually settled for these (they end up mailing them from Aust., all up cost $41 shipped):

Sound is as good or better than the originals.
