Raven 10+ year member Lacking social skills! 4,697 14 Michigan Nov 5, 2006 #5 An adapter plate of 1/4" PVC or MDF will let you mount 5.25" speakers in the same spot, which makes for millions of better options for speakers. Make them or buy them, ebay sells them $7/pair. EDIT: Ebay ones are for 5.25, you can build ones for 6.5. I prefer 5.25 myself because the 6.5" ones get a little thin around the edges.

Raven 10+ year member Lacking social skills! 4,697 14 Michigan Nov 5, 2006 #7 Simple. Put adapter in stock mounting location, put speaker in adapter.

Raven 10+ year member Lacking social skills! 4,697 14 Michigan Nov 5, 2006 #9 Not sure, you'd have to check. Cheap partsexpress.com 6.5" driver for test fitting maybe? I got 6.5"s in my Taurus' 5.25 locations before for what that's worth.
