can do is from the far left to the far right of the screw holes..?


I've actually just taken another look at your image, and I can't quite
tell, but it looks like it might have 4 fixing screws? If so, then
it's not going to be a 160mm (which usually have 3), but more likely a
165mm, which isn't especially surprising as the car's effectively a
Vauxhall Belmont (which used 165mm eurosize)

Rather than worrying about the speaker size, I'd measure the mounting
hole. A 130mm mounting hole equates to a 160cm (usually Japanese and
American) driver, and 150mm equates to a 165mm (eurosize) speaker.

Sony's database lists 160mm speakers for the car, but a 153mm cutout,
so I'm not thinking they've probably got things wrong!
