6.5" Speakers in the Doors

[ChevroletRyan]

So I just want to be sure, when you use a 1" spacer to install 6.5" speakers in the doors, the door pannels will still fit normally?

I just did my doors and replaced with 6.5" Infinity 6012si. It was relatively painless, just used the 1" spacer as indicated in this post. One thing I had to do was offset the speaker mount so it was moved more towards the bottom corner because the grill (which is the door panel) wouldn't fit back on perfectly if they were mounted perfectly centered of the hole cut out. Infinity provides a mounting ring to allow this which can be easily trimmed down to size. So basically you don't need to have new grills made; keeping things looking as stock as possible is a winner in my book.

take any pics yet kitty?

Has anyone put 6.5" speakers in the front doors and used the stock door grilles? I don't want speakers hanging out of the door panel, I want it to look stock.

looks nice, but you used the stock door panel without altering it?

He's running Sony XPlod 6 1/2" 270Watt [55Watt RMS] as per his car domain. Also, if the speakers are installed in this picture, it looks like the door panels have not been modified, well, aside from paint.
