[QUOTE="DejaWiz, post: 3159261, member: 569941"] You'll have to determine a couple things to see if you can fit an MDF baffle in there. 1. Measure the distance from the inner door skin/speaker mount to the inside of the door panel. This will tell you how much room you have to work with and how thick the MDF can be. 2. Take the factory speaker out, place it upside down (cone down) on a piece of MDF. Trace around the speaker and trace the factory bolt holes. 3. Take the new speaker and place it cone down centered inside the 4x6 tracing. Trace around it and the bolt holes. 4. Cut the 6.5 hole out according to the trace. 5. Cut the excess outside meterial off around the 4x6 trace. note: you may have to leave a little extra outer material (e.g.- make the oval wider) at the places where the 6.5 meets the 4x6 tracing. 6. Drill out the bolt holes only wide enough to give a tight screw/bolt mount, mount the MDF baffle to the 4x6 opening, then mount the 6.5 on it. 7. Done! [/QUOTE]
