Vibe 308BHS depth between ceiling and roof

I, also, am intersted in hearing what you do. I am picking up out new 308BHS next week and I noticed those speakers look like those free speakers you would get with your paid Sports Illustrated subscription back in the 90's. Little white plastic blobs hanging down. Lol.

They are probably just standard, inexpensive automotive size speakers (5 1/4 or 6 1/2). Pop the grill off one and remove it or measure it to be sure.

Most likely you could upgrade to something a little better, but doubtful you will find the clearance for the big magnet used on a real high quality speaker without crafting some sort of shim.

Because the depth can be different all over the roof, I would pull one or both of the speakers and check for the dimension you need.

Do you have a 14x14 roof vent, if so pull the inside trim piece, 4 screws and you will see the depth and type of construction/insulation.

Does anyone know the depth between the ceiling and roof of a Vibe 308BHS? I'm thinking of replacing the factory speakers and was wondering how much room I have to work with. The ceiling is concave so I'm thinking it should have fairly constant depth all the way across. Thanks.

If I remember correctly by popping off the AC vent you could see the thickness or maybe pull off a light or speaker?
