hi ppl
IVe had mixed answers on this so i need modern replies and hopefully a correct answer

in the ef el models, can u fit a 6.5" speaker in the foor or do u need to cut it or use an adaptor? also, anyone able to inform me as to how much room u have behind the hole? (ie speaker depth)

I've got 6.5" woofers in my doors, it required a tiny bit of grinding to slide it in, maybe 1-2mm around the hole to get it in nicely.

I think it really depends on the actual speaker, some will some won't.

thanks for the replies guys
EFF, tough question but do u know the depth of your woofers? the ones i want are actually about 6 or 7cm deep, reckon thatll be hitting the window?

I'm honestly not sure, Mine are Phoenix Gold Tantrums, they nudge the window guide, but don't hit the actual window.

you have to be careful with using spacers too, u can use real thin ones, but then you've gotta ensure the speaker doesn't rest against the door trim.

I had to use spacers because the Jaycar spilts are huge. no major mods other than screwing the spacers on.

good luck

I have xplod 6" or 6.5" (depends who you ask) in my doors and they fit perfectly

Most E series cars have a mounting clearance of about 68-70mm, any deeper and you will need spacers.
The Response speakers are very deep and will definately need spacers.

if u use spaces, wont the speakers stick out past the door trim?? tho i suppose its ok as long as they are firmly mounted, and have a grille for protection?

My Quarts had no problems sliding into place with only some small file work on the door skin to miss the basket, however i had problems with the cone and suspension hitting the door trim. I had to pack the door trim out from the inner skin as my front drivers had enough throw to touch the trim.
