2003 ford taurus
EDIT: i don't mind cutting, but before i mess it up i'd like to consider my options.

front doors might need to be cut, rear lid, bottom mount and make new holes.. lil ghetto but im pretty sure they dont make adapter for them.. other than putting some speaker spacers in might work too

u dont need to really do anything other then get spacers. they make brackets that let u fit a 6.5 or a 5.25 in a 5x7 hole i get ya link here.

Itt will be close. If you want to guarantee no cutting go with 5 1/4. i know some 51/4's like kickers actually come witha 5x7 conversion plate. but with the 6 1/2 you may get lucky i had a ford expedition which i put 6 1/2's in with an abs plate with no cutting of the car. but now i drive an f 1-50 which required a small amount of cutting to get the speaker to fit.

yes the old f-150s dont require cutting. but on the new body 04 and up the speaker mounts into a recessed pocket on the door panel up front. which usually needs to be trimmed.

Not to hijack the thread, but does anyone know about an 02 Lincoln LS? There's really not too much room to mess around. Has anyone worked on one of those? Thanks
