[QUOTE="frmdrkside, post: 4621554, member: 593360"] Well, first off your factory speaker is a 4x6 not a 5x7. While that doesn't sound like a big deal, if you want to put a 6 or 6.5" speaker in the front door, it probably won't fit without cutting some metal. A very shallow 6 with a very thick spacer, basically a spacer that is nearly the same depth as the speaker could possibly work. A 6 or 6.5 will fit in a factory 5x7 location by simply making a mounting plate, as long as it isn't too deep. Generally a 4" mid is about as big as you can go, as a drop in replacement for a 4x6 location. Maybe a 5.25, but even that would probably require some modification. Obviously a 4x6 will be a direct replacement but generally those are in a coaxial configuration. Some companies make a 4x6 "plate" that has a "component system" (4" and tweeter) on a 4x6 mounting plate. Good Luck, -Jay [/QUOTE]
