How to start on modifying door for 6x9's?

[Xanthous 10+ year member]

My stock door only excepts 5.25"s speakers. I was looking to put some 6x9's in in the future but I don't have a clue on how to start. Thanks.

The door panel looks something like this; (all one piece on mine)

are you serious?

Why would you put 6x9s in there? Get a nice 5.25 component set.

I have never dealt with components. That's how the car was initially set up stock. I want to put 6x9's in there because I feel like 6x9's sound better, louder and provide more bass.

Do some research before you start chopping up your car. 6x9s....sound better? No. Louder? Eh, nothing a round speaker can't achieve. Provide more bass? Do some research on the difference between bass and audible distortion, then come back and let us know if you still want to put 6x9s in your doors.

6x9's will produce more bass. Didn't find anything on Audible distortion doing a google search.

Bro 6x9s distort at a very low volume level... I have 6x9s and soon as I get the money I'm getting a nice 5.25 component set for my front and back

Hmm, didn't realise that, reason? What about 6.5"?

If you want bass then why not just add a 12" sub? A good set of 5 1/4" components plus a decent 12" sub would be pretty nice.

I helped a buddy to replace all four 6x8s in his 96 Explorer plus a new headunit, but there was still not enough bass to be worth talking about it.

Same reason square subs sound like ****.. Their shape. Also speakers have a tweeter mounted in the middle of the cone. Where a component is like a small sub that gets your mids and the tweeter you can mount over the cone or somewhere around your car. Making more options and crisper sound.
