Installing Speakers with Large mounting depth in doors

[JeffM 10+ year member]

I was wondering how everyone with larger speakers, such as CDT Eurosports or Rainbow Germaniums, are able to fit them in your doors, while maintaining a stealth look. Im going to be buying some new speakers, but Im worried there going to interfere with the window going down. I already have a MDF baffle made but I still dont think its going to be enough for clearance. So what does everyone else do to provide enough clearance?

Add another one...or two

They are gifted with cars with large door cavities.

Simple... just cut a hole where the window goes down.

Jeff, the mounting depth for your doors is at least 2.5". I'm gonna check with Crutchfield tomorrow to see if I can get an exact number. But an MDF baffle + 2.5" mounting depth means you shouldn't have any issues with whatever you decide to go with.

Would there be any problems if I make another baffle to go on my current one? that would give me another 3/4 of an inch to work with. Anyone here done that before?

glue them together with some wood glue and clamp it. (No clamps, put it on a level surface with weights)

Good to go after that
