Question help with my door speakers!

Hey all i just got a free pair of 6 1/2 Cerwin Vega 6002's and i was wondering if those would fit inplace of my stock speakers there right now. Also what size are my stock door speakers??

Sorry bro, but they won't fit. Your stock size is 4x6. Try to sell them and get something better, cuz Cerwin Vega isn't exactly the best brand for car audio. They are good for home stereo, but not for the car.

Yeah, you can. Just make sure you have some grills to cover it up.

You could cut the door panel but you will need to buy/make a spacer cause there isnt enough depth there for 6.5s
Any good stereo shop will be able to do that for you. Or you could get some fiberglass resine and make your own. \

I had the exact same set up in my cavi........6 1/2 " front door speakers.

Didn't have to cut a hole in the door at all or in the door panel.

Cheap fix........get a 3/4" to 1" piece of plywood and cut a hole in it to accept the 6 1/2 s. using sheet metal screws attach your new "adapter ring" to the inside of the door frame (you have to take the interior door panel off completely) and mount the speaker. You may have to trim the plywood some to make the "ring" but this way you don't have to go cutting metal.......and the speaker should fit just fine.

This was on a '97, but I doubt much has changed inside the doors.......if it has, then ignore my suggestion.

I like mtkohl answer and ive seen it done and it works good. I dont think youll have to with the Cerwin but if you do decied to upgrade the speaker try putting dynamat on the metal any where the wood will be touching it. it will stop any annoying ratteling you might get.
