those are for the front doors right? 6.5s

Yeah most doors aren't deep enough to fit those beefy motors.

Should be fine, u don't have to run rated power to anything.

They're pretty deep

meaning closer to the door frame, then the door panel?

Meaning they may be too deep to fit....like hitting the window or something inside the door

so what am i going to need to do

so what am i going to need to do

Get/make a wooden spacer to mount over the speaker hole thick enough that once the speaker is mounted on the spacer, it clears the door all while not hitting the door panel once it is put back on after installation. It is easier in some cars than others....let's just hope yours is one of the easy ones //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

oh true, but would i use the stock bracket thats there still, and attach that to the spacer?

i drive a 2006 chevrolet malibu 3.5l v6, i appreciate your comments

I removed my stock baffle. It was easier that way

hmm okay, to do this, was one peice of mdf thick enough, or did u have to puit 2 peices together to be thick enough?

oh, and if its not wrapped in deadener? haha

idk where to buy small peices of deadener? do they even do that

U don't want the mdf to get wet

Also you ll wanna deaden those doors for the best speaker performance anyway so its a solid investment to get some deadener. I may have a little left over i can send u to atleast wrap the spacers

that would be very much appreciated. (as ive just dropped 500 on the speakers and amp) and recently been spending too much lol.

i plan on buying a peice of mdf to do this.

I understand man. I should be able to let u know about the deadener by tomorrow.

3/4 might be enough, might not...depends on door. Just play around with it.
