What the hell.......

I tried to install some 6.5's (speakers) in my doors tonight (on my 92 LX). Anyway, the damn things wouldnt fit because of the window rail. Are the damn door speakers brand specific or something? What does that vacant hole want me to feed it?

Check with Crutchfield.

I believe this is a common problem -- the speakers need to be more shallow than you have to fit. No idea on brand, but try taking a depth measurement on the door to the window rail and compare some.

Or, if your crafty enough, you could make some wooden spacers and redo your door panel to fit like I did. I put 8" Subs in my door.

Yup! My car has 2 Pioneer 2 ways in the front doors and 2 Pioneer 3 ways in the back. I didn't have any fitment problems. Oh and Crutchfield told me that those speakers would fit, they were right.

Good Luck!

There's hardly any depth for better speakers in our doors. You'll need to make spacers for most aftermarket speakers... MDF is the preferred material to use. 1/2" was enough for my MB Quarts, although some speakers with really beefy magnets might need 3/4".

You can also find shallow speakers meant to fit in tight spaces, but if you can get ahold of a jigsaw making spacers is no big deal.

if your installing a speaker with magnet, you will need to use a spacer. Either build one like 89sleeper did or you can get them fairly cheap at circuit city.
