the best door speakers>?

[hiredgun8]

I used DB Drive 6.5"' Speed Series in my doors and they sound tons better than stock.

Are the aftermarket speakers a direct fit? Or do the mounting holes need 'adjusting'?

DB drives are cheap, and a great upgrade over stock. They have decent specs and sound pretty good amped up as well.

The speakers go right in most times. Some speaker companies vary their flanges a little and that may affect mounting.

I have a question about speakers and didn't want to start a new thread. I am replacing the door speakers in my Suburban and I guess the ones I'm replacing have a magnet that's too big because the window is hitting it when I roll it all the way down. Does anyone have the specs on the mounting depth I should be looking for or is there another problem that I should be worried about?

grab some 3/4" MDF and cut a "ring" to mount to the door, then mount the speakers to the ring, it will clear your window and sound better at the same time.

Wouldn't that interfere with the speaker grille in the door panel though? Is that easily removable? I have grilles to put over the speaker if that's what I need to do.

LOL! I wish I had a set like that, then I wouldn't have to worry about it.

the speaker grills in the doors don't get touched, and you don't need to use the grills that come with the new speakers.

I dont even know what they are.. they are the factory door speakers out of my ol Jag i had..

Huh? Pardon my stupidity, but I'm confused. My door panel looks something like this.

Are you saying there's and extra 3/4" between the inner door skin (not sure if that's what it's called) where the speaker mounts and the outer panel. It didn't seem like there was that much space between the 2. Wouldn't putting that MDF "spacer" in there cause the door panel to bulge out right there?
