FC Door Speakers

Does anyone know the MAX depth of door speakers you can put in the CENTER of the door? (right above the armrest) Thanks.

not sure on the mid door speakers, but I'd say shallow depth.

Just call crutchfield and ask them which ones you should buy for you year.

BTW - get their free quarterly catalog if you don't already.

Wow, this thread got nicely edited...

Anyway; I know for a fact that crutchfield it slightly... "conservative" on their mounting depths. Also, I have the speakers purchased, and won't use anything but (if I have to make alterations to my car, that's not a problem. I've done it to other cars before). I would just like to know a TRUE, MEASURED, max depth of the mid-door location.

the answer for your question is 2" from the middle of the factory cut-out to where the window is in the down position. I put a 3/4" mdf spacer and it is raised to 2 15/16".

I am trying to fit a true 6" midbass in the door (above napkin holder) and they're 3" deep. ARGH!

To the people that posted earlier to this post, post again please (for ideas). Thanks!

^^^ Same thing I'm trying to do. Memphis Multi-Syncs.

Don't forget about the thickness of the trim ring, if you decide to put that in too; it should get you more than that 1/16th you need.

here are some 9" speakers in the door, they sit with less profile than the stock pocket does.
