FD Door Speaker Options - 2024

So, i’m looking to get new door speakers in my FD. I did a bunch of searching, and the most comprehensive thread seemed to be all the way in 2004 and the market has changed so much since then. So I figured i’d set the stage for people to post the brand and model speakers they upgraded to, for me, and everyone that comes along after. Extra credit for those that put speakers in the rear bins and contribute that as well. In my search I seemed to come up with the door speaker size being 6 1/2 inches and under 2 1/2 inches deep. Feel free to confirm or correct that.

Thank you.

I went with kickers and the PVC adapters for the front door. Speakers fit very well. I tried to completely insulate all 4 speakers, then left them open to see if I could tell a difference. Sound quality was much better without the speaker cups that sealed them off.

I also chose a Sony Marine head unit for the higher wattage. Unfortunately, sounds ok especially with my car not having a cat in the midpipe. I would suggest an amp to get the speakers the wattage they need to sound nice. If I dont have the car running it sounds great. lol

I’ve seen the Kicker speakers talked about. Do you have a model # for the speakers, and what pvc adapters are you referring to? Are they made by Kicker?
Thanks for the reply!

I just saw the link. Missed it first time. Thanks again. Also, your center console with the red stitching is rad and your car is beautiful.
