Need dimension on fitting 6x9s replacing door pockets

Not with 6x9's I haven't, although they would fit.. There are some 16cm infinity reference series components in mine...I was under the impression 6x9s are pointless up fromt

You pretty much got to shape them from scratch, to follow the contours of teh doorcard, to the point where the MDF needs to be a tiny bit thinner in some place to get a good fit....

EDIT:they are 16cm

hmm looks like a good idea, might have to do that on my car.

Can't help thinking the 13.5s you can fit in the standard hole are a bit inadequate, I've got a sub but there's some bass missing. What's the largest speaker I can fit in the rear boxes using powertools? heh.
