    It's 3.5" stock would need a custom bracket for bigger I'd say no bigger than 5.25in If I remember the amount of space correctly.

    I've squeezed in 6.5 inch in front
    Just wondering if I could do the same with the rear. Found a matching set of infinity kappa for the fronts. It's there anybody who's fitted 6.5 inch at the rear doors ?

    6.5 are too big. I think with adapters, 5.25s are the largest for rear.

    You guys are such party poopers ... Lol
    How do you think 6.5 inch two way speakers would sound on the rear shelf? Would it be to much? The kappas do give off decent bass. But I'm concerned about the treble and vocals being too much with speakers on the shelf and rear doors

    I have a whole thread on my Boston acoustics speaker install. I love the way the speakers sound in the rear deck, definitely not "too much" fills in the soundstage nicely. Basically drops right in. Go for it. I currently am not running any rear door speakers, they originally housed the Bose "twiddlers" basically oversized
