Hi Everyone! This is a research project of mine. MODS DO NOT MOVE THIS!! This is 3rd gen specific! Constantly we are bombarded in the car audio forum and here of whether or not 6.5's will fit. Yes they will. But not every 6.5 speaker will fit in our doors as some are just too deep without a spacer. The door window is the limiting factor here. I will take measurements on mine as my door panel is off right now anyway but this will help substantiate my findings. Third Gens come with a white plastic bucket with a grille on the backside that the speakers sit in. Most of us has had to cut out that grille but still can use the white plastic bucket for mounting our aftermarket speakers. I've been on a roadtrip across the midwest U.S. and got the chance to listen to alot of speakers! But do to where I live and the lack of High End speakers on display to listen to, Ultimitley I will buy online like alot of us I would presume. If I buy speakers that are too deep they are not easily returned. This for me and every other 3rd genner that is looking at buying speakers for the doors now or in the future. With the miracle of my trusty Car Audio and Electronics magazine directory issues of june of each year I will take your model numbers of speakers that fit and obtain the mounting depth of each model. Ultimately coming to maximum depth allowed in 3rd gen. Giving me and anybody else in the future a definitive answer whether a speaker will fit with out making a spacer and heavy modding.
So if you if you have bought 6.5" speakers in the last couple of years and was able to mount them successfully in the doors using the stock white plastic spacer Please Post your Brand, Model Number, and year! Thanx, Cudaboy!
