Speaker Placement Advice

BigNate

there should be any issue fitting those 7" midbasses in the doors. If you look at the speaker dimensions they are not too much larger than a standard 6.5" mid. I do not know off hand the exact dimensions of that factory mounting holes but i can guarantee you there will need to be an adapter plate made to properly mount the speaker to the door for depth reasons. This adapter will simultaneously make the diameter of the factory mounting hole not matter. The real question here is where to mount the midranges and tweeters. The factory tweeter locations are on the dash facing directly upward into the windshield. Could you put the mid there? Yes but more often than not windshield reflections are not ideal for optimal sound. I would definitely look into a-pillar placement for the midranges and tweeters but the real best way to determine what sounds best to you is to play with temporary placements. Use double sided tape or other temporary methods to mount and listen to the speakers and see what sounds best to you. Then move on to seeing what is required to make the best sounding mount permanent.
