Default 6th GENS: What 6.5" door aftermarket speakers are you using?

What are you fellow sixth gen owners with stereos running for aftermarket speakers?

I'm interested in model numbers too, so I can look up size specs.

How much depth modification was required to make them fit?

I'm planning to install some new 6.5" speakers in my doors this spring. I'm having trouble picking out a 6.5" speaker that can handle 75w RMS from my JL Audio 300/4 amp.
I'm 99% sure the Accord has a 2" depth stock for the speakers.

I'd like to find a good quality speaker for my doors but I don't want to modify them much.

Anyone know the depth on JL Audio and MB Quart speakers; co-axials are fine by me as well. Neither site lists the top mount depth. And CF has some fairly weak speakers. from what I've seen. I'm looking for clean power too. I plan to run a Nakamichi head unit so clean smooth power is my goal. My sub will handle the bang!

Pioneer TS-A1664 - $70

very similar to the A1661's pictured below


not top of the line speakers, but it fit without any mods. it has a nice clean high, decent mids, but the lows aren't there. that's what the sub is for h:

I'm using Boston Acoustics 6.2 pro seperates. They're big as hell, yet they still fit well.


Probably one of the best 6.5's you can buy.

I'm gonna have the Boston Rally RX67's in the door pretty soon. They were in my friends car and they sounded hella clean. They were also fairly inexpensive for me at least.

Did you have to cut much for the kappas to fit?

I'm running Infinity Reference 6.5's in my 5th gens doors, probably would fit in yours too. I think they're 180w peak. Sound good with out and amp, but I'm, planning on getting one for my mid's and highs soon.
