99 ranger fitting and amp question

[69420potsmoker 10+ year member]

Whats up, Just a quick question. Does anyone happen to know if I can fit cdt ef61's in a 99 ranger supercab front door? I know I need the adapter things and possibly spacers but will the 6.5 speaker fit in the 6X8 slot? I prefer not to cut things. Also If I buy a ampkit will it include everything I need to safely hook up my components to a 2 channel amp + head unit?

Thanks

Im guessing thats your way of saying only 5 inch circle speakers can fit in there? Oh well, I will cut a hole in the door panel if I have to. I didnt want to do more work but it would be nice to actually see the speakers I buy. And WOW THATS AN EXPENSIVE LITTLE PIECE OF PLASTIC..............kiss my ass crutchfield.

Also exactly what would I have to do to get that 6.5 in there? I have no clue how the stock speaker is actually connected

yes 6.5 " will fit. you will need to make some adapters. i made mine out of 1/2 " mdf and it works just fine

I need a amp kit for a 2 channel 1000(320rms)watt profile amp that requires a inline fuse 12'' from the battery. the amp has 2X30 fuses.

Do all the above give me everything I need to hook up my amp for 2 channels?

And also what speaker wire gauge do you recommend for component woofer/tweeter wiring?

THanks in advance

Here is a template for converting 6x8 to 6.5

Here is how mine turned out using that template using 1/2 in mdf.

If you are getting a component set that has a higher excursion mid, I would recommend mounting the the bracket to the back side of the door panel. I have mine on the outside and the mid sometimes hits the back side of the trim panel. Even with all the extending plastic shaved off the panel.

wow thanks alot, its nice to see that can be done however that page isnt working for me and I seem to need to have been a previous member to enter. Im sure I can figure something out when I actually take the panel off I was just making sure it wasnt impossible.

I used 1/4" MDF its $3.50 at Home Depot for a 3'x4' sheet..

Great for small stuff like this.. add the damplifyer & some Clay your all set..
