DIY: Door Panel Removal & Door Speaker Size

Great write up man, NO 6x9 will fit because they are very shallow speakers, and there is not much clearance behind them, What I am doing is making mdf spacer

Great write up man, NO 6x9 will fit because they are very shallow speakers, and there is not much clearance behind them, What I am doing is making mdf spacer rings and putting 5 1/4 inch speakers in there place. Also the 6x9's are only in the bose model I believe I will be sure to take measurements when I do this for future installs. Also for an alternative to your putty spreader you can sue a butter knife wrapped in electrical tape or this.

I've got some Pioneer 6.75" for the doors but I haven't finished hooking everything up as I've been working out of town for two weeks. Hope to finish it up this coming weekend when i get back. I've got a write-up over in the Audio section for speaker spacers for the Touring.
