I'd highly recommend that anyone thinking of pulling the dash out considers mounting speaker pods under there. Theres masses of room with dash out and they sound a whole lot better than door speakers.

You've mentioned that before, now I've got new door cards I'm thinking of going that way - any recommendations on models?

I found you could mount them either side, right underneath (forget middle grill). For some reason the sound isn't lost by the dash at all. I'm not sure why - perhaps it bounces back off the windscreen. Can't recommend any since mine were from a boot sale, but any pods that can handle it without rattling.
