    Rear speaker mounting depth?

    Just wondering what the max mounting depth is for rear speakers in the stock location? WWill be replacing with 5 1/4 or 6 1/2 seperates since I have a rattling blown rear pass. side speaker.

    Reading through several posts some say you need shallow depth, some say no, some say nothing. Just want some idea before I order something.

    i went with shallow mount 6.5s





    in the first pic you can just make out the back of the magnet behind the bracket, it is probably within 1/2" of the tire well on the bottom

    I wouldn't even mess with them cause those rear panels are a mo fo to put back on OMFG, there are much easier ways to get good audio without those 2 rear speakers,new kicker 3 ways for the doors and kicker tweeters where the tweeters go and subs in the back is what I did and mine sounds awesome.

    Or surface mounted (box) speakers on the "b" pillars.

    Jack & I have both done this.

    Has anyone heard the Hifonics Zeus line of speakers? In particular I am looking at the ZXi5.2's for both the door and rears. I know back in the day Hifonics put out some high end amps but I don't know a lot about their current crop.
