DIY: Door Panel Removal & Door Speaker Size

rtcpenguin

I dont have a definitive mounting depth, but the clearance is actually pretty good. Even with the generic Nissan mounting ring that comes free with crutchfield orders there is a decent amount of space. I was able to fit some Eclipse 5.25" in there fine. The center of the hole backs right to the guide for the window so you dont really have to worry about window clearance (i.e. you'll know if theres an issue immediately). If you use one of those Nissan speaker spacers they have on ebay I think you could mount practically any 6.5 or 5.25 in there fine.

Here are some pics of the non-bose speaker and mounting depth. Its hard to see in the pics but the available depth using just a schosche ring is a fraction over 2". With a spacer you've got another 1/2" to 3/4" (notice the depth of the stock speaker).

Also, I don't like using MDF mounting rings/spacers. I've used them in the past and in the three cars I've put them in moisture caused them to expand considerably. I wish I had pics of the ones I pulled out of my Altima, they went from 1/2" to 1" bulges in between the screws.
