Yeah that might work, I’ll have to find some spacers, door panels at an upholstery shop getting touched up. Guess I could find a slimmer style or maybe not as big of a magnet on the 6.5. It’s not huge but there’s a depth difference from the original to the 6.5.
Couldn’t give up on it! Decided I’m buying the inserts from lmr and it can be done. The foam part where the insert lays had a decent 1inch foam padding, small cut to be able to pull it out. Puncture the holes and boom. The lmr inserts and map delete came with a cheaper clasp to hold them down, almost similar to a manila envelop style.
Thank man appreciate that! I bought a package off Amazon nothing amazing brand was harmony. The dash speakers and rears went in no issues, the doors were 5.25 and seemed small. So I bought 6.5s from same company but the depth was an issue, ended up just going with some pioneers that were slimmer and fit perfect. Also probably not great but better than the original. Just wanted some I could do an easy swap, not running amps or anything. Have a newer alpine head unit so it sounds great until I start the car!!!!
Yeah they must have just used the same design as those years, being that they had all the actual holes on the backside of the panel they just weren’t punched in that section, since it was a one piece. Was worried that maybe I would be able to slip the armrests back in but no problems there. Once the padding was out it laid pretty flat, and the insert fit in that section nicely.
Thanks man! Heck yeah I didn’t even take into consideration that the window track would be right there other wise I could’ve ran some better quality speakers but the depth really limits you. I’m guessing that’s why guys who run some legit speakers in that section usually have to space them and end up modifying the speaker grill area on the door

Isn’t that motor and exhaust all we really want to hear anyway? Listen to the radio in the DD on the commute to and from work! There’s a reason the Cobra R had no radio!! Lol
@Reddevil191, what seats are those?A little door panel adventure lead to speaker changes, new vapor barriers and sound deadener, and after many different attempts finally getting the door panels redone. All in all speaker sound is much better, door panel inserts, and new map pocket delete add that little extra pop & cleanness!! Happy to be done with it.
They are Recaro LSCs I picked up for cheap, were rough but had them redone, foam fixed, found some fabric I wanted and had them fixed up, as well as matching rears.
