    I'd love to see the mount before I tear the interior out, but I'm pretty creative...I'm thinking a little tweaking, get a pair of six an a halfs in there.. and Dynamat the whole mess while I have the sides and headliner out. Couple of extra pounds won't really matter...the seats have never been in, so I'm still ahead. The rest is just brand name

    Do the front door speakers need to be shallow mount? I want the Polks but what series should I focus on? I was leaning toward db651's 6.5's all the way around. Liiks like crutchfield indicates fronts need to be shallow mount. Any suggestions on series of Polks?

    these mount with no mods in the front door. they arent polks but, they are pretty close to top of the line.

    Cool

    1. While dynamatting also stuff the void between the exterior metal skin and inner metal skin with poly fill. Lots of holes to do that. It'll take a few bags if you do it all.

    2. Watch out for depth when putting those rear speakers in, it's a bit tight. If you cut the metal bracket larger, you may want to consider offsetting the opening higher so the speakers are not touching the wheel well at the bottom end.

    My $0.02...

    yea you need low profile speakers for the back more than the front.. i have really shallow mount 6.5s back there and i didnt have room to dynamat under the magnet because it was that close to the wheel well
