Well, no matter what you have to cut the rain guard that holds the factory speaker in the door. It's only about an 1 1/2 deep and will not handle any after market speaker.
This is not true. You can mount any speaker that is a 6.5" or smaller in the opening, provided it is not deeper than 2". There are very few 6.5's that are that shallow, but the best ones I've found so far are the Kenwood DualMags, model #KFC-XR600. They are 6 1/2" and have a very shallow mounting depth, no mods are necessary for them to fit the front doors at all. Just plug and play. The sweet thing about these speakers besides the shallow depth is the fact that you can power the tweets from a separate amp from the woofer and the tweet isn't riding on the same axis as the woofer so you get more excursion from the woofer and less distortion. Im on my second set, I love em. The first set was in my 4th gen civic that got stolen and raped, I just got some for my 5th Gen Accord.
