A lot of people fit JBL GTO series speakers. Have a read of some of these for more info.

The rear speakers will fit without modification (other than to the wiring), but the front will require some work. I did the rears ok although I was not bowled over by the performance & the front ones are still on my 'to do' list.

The side panels at the rear of the van will need to be removed, yes.

There is also a Speakers Fact Sheet, which might help. http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/member ... eakers.pdf
