[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 6999604, member: 576029"] i vote to just get the same 6.5" speakers front and rear. use/make/buy an adapter to mount the rear speakers in the opening - if you make it you can shift the speaker to clear the springs. difference in bass output between 6.5" and 6x8 in your budget will be minimal, if at all. might as well get four equal speakers. note on MDF - it cannot get wet, ever. you need to coat it in deadener or resin to waterproof it if you use it in doors. use weatherstripping foam around each speaker to seal it up to both the metal and to the door panel. closed cell on the back if exposed to moisture. open cell on the front is ok to seal to the factory grill. those seals are crucial if you want midbass response. you want an airtight seal between the front of the cone and the rear of the cone - along the door/rear deck.
