I am trying to find real info on what I can and cannot do in the doors w/out expensive mods.... I have read that ppl fit 6.5s and 5.25s, but when I look at charts, they say 5.25 is the cutout... whats the deal w/ that? Also, how large of a mounting depth can I go? I have seen that 2 3/16 is the largest according to the charts. That doesn't leave me w/ very many high end components... What does everyone have in their car?

well i have the pioneer ts-c1653 component set in the front. its 6.5, but the windows hit it [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img] so i guess i should have megered it

I have Infinity 50_3cs 5.25" components in my car. Looks and sounds awesome.

I have Focal PolyKevlar 6.5" components in front spaced by a .5" thick piece of MDF.

I've got Sony Xplod 5.25" components in the front, and 6.5" in the back.<P>In hindsight, I should have got 6.5" for the front as well. They're footprint is actually THE SAME. The actual speaker part is just a bit smaller for the 5.25", but the metal around the speakers are the same size. <P>So I dunno about other brands, but you should check the measurements of the 6.5" version to see if it's doable. Most likely it is. <P>And I've made lucite rings for my speakers in the front to use as a spacer. Without it, the back of the speakers 'barely' touch the window when it goes all the way down. So you'll probably have to space it out about 0.5"to be on the safe side (as there is a lot of wiggle-room behind the speaker grill).

I was looking at focals... they are sweet speakers!!!

I have a 12 pionner bullet, crossfire amp 17cm pioneer 2 ways in the door pionner 6 inch in the rear.<P>And what gets me going is that who ever had my car before put 8" woofers in the door with 4 inch midranch and 2 " tweeter and 8" in the back panel, plus who knows what else. My doors are custom so thats why they can fit 8" woofers. I havnt got the moeny to do it though.

got any pics? your doors sound pretty nice... and expensive!

damn i wish i had the money for half of the speakers you guys are talking aroud, unfortunately i dont' so my systems on the cheap side mostly from walmart but the deck is is a powerful Blaupunk <BR>in the doors i have jensen 6.5's 120W but htey don't fit perfeclty so only two screws are hold ing each of them in, but by the sound you can't tell, i had 6x9 Jensen in my last car so i put those in my mazda inside enclosures w/ neon around them. <BR>so basically i have a decent system (deck, speakers, enclosures and install) all for under $200usd so no conplaints here. now i just need an amp for my 10' pioneer 400W IMMP subwoofer. <BR>I know it's not that impresive , but for a poor 16 year old white dude that lives in a trailor, im proud

Search Ebay. It may take some time but you can get s--- for CHEAP!

Well my car is new to me but I already got some 6 1/2" JBL in the front (<A HREF="http://www.jbl.com/car/product.asp?prod ... TS&cat=MEL" TARGET=_blank>GTO625</A>) and I plan to put the same in the back. They have a nice woofer cone which spreads out almost to the edges which increases the surface area (ie. better bass). It came with 3 mounting rings which all had different holes to fit all types of vehicles. As for depth I didn't have a problem with it interferring with my window. Check 'em out as the also have a sharp swivel tweeter. They pound pretty good with the stock stereo I have now but I plan to put a Panasonic CQ-DFX572 (<A HREF="http://www.panasonic.ca/English/car/car ... dfx572.htm" TARGET=_blank>CD/MP3</A>)in a couple of weeks, cause I ordered it direct from Panasonic... good money saver. For subs... well I want to get something good and haven't really looked into it.<P>I hear that certain models you have to take the whole door panel off to install speakers in the door. Mine I just have to take the little speaker cover off... nice.

i'm putting two kenwood 3-way 6x9's in the front...why? because i can and no one else did before...well to my knowledge at least.

I put 6.5 rockfords for all four speakers.. easy to fit.. just have to raise it a bit so it doesn't hit the window..

I got a custom door pod in the front with Alpine Type-R 6.5" Component Set.

any pics talon? I am looking for ideas
