My Z had the base stereo in it. I was able to mount a pair of Alpine SPR-17s 6-3/4 woofers in the doors using the adapter rings that came with the speakers. They were maybe a 1/4 inch thick and did not require any cutting of the stock speaker mount. It was a simple bolt/screw in. But then again, I think they are only 2-3/8" deep.

What do you think about the Alpine SPR-17? I’ve heard mixed reviews?

Ive personally used them and theyre a great budget set of componets. The tweeter is an aluminum dome which can be a little harsh for my taste in music but definately a solid set for under 150

I've run Polks before and really liked them. But I got a great price on the Alpines and couldn't pass them up. When I first turned on my system I was a little disappointed with the sound. But then I hadn't set the crossover points and after I did they produced some pretty good sound. I don't "blast" music so all I can say is that in the upper middle volume range they sound very good. And they work well with my rear speakers.
