[QUOTE="DejaWiz, post: 2695961, member: 569941"] Best advice I can give is to pull your panel off and check whether or not you might be able to fit some 6.5" speakers in there. Check for: 1.) Speaker diameter clearance. 2.) Speaker depth allowance. 3.) Distance between speaker mount point and door panel/grille. 1.) will allow you to determine in you can fit a larger speaker than 4x6 in there. 2.) will allow you to determine if a larger/deep speaker can be present without interfering with things such as the window when it's rolled down. 3.) will allow you to determine if you have room enough for a custom fabricated mdf adapter/spacer so that 1 and 2 can happen. If you don't want to tear it apart yourself, call some local shops and ask if they have ever successfully put 6.5's in a same model/age Malibu. [/QUOTE]
