Nice pics.
I used the smaller Dynaudio mids in that location, they're about 5 1/4", on 1/2 MDF, and then I used some dense foam around the circumference of the speaker (between the speaker and the door panel) to eliminate any vibrations and prevent sound pressure from going sideways. Pics are in the gallery if interested.
One thing to check is whether your speaker is firing directly thru the hole in the door panel. (I can't remember the position that's required offhand....) If not, you may find that the door panel resonates excessively when you turn it up. Just something to watch out for.

bringing this thread back up from the grave but quick question:
these adapters came with my infinity kappas that i bought. dumb question but will these work instead of having to modify a new adapter?
anyone from norcal/bay area make these mdf adapters? and are willing to install my front and rear speakers with an amp for some cash? thanks in advanced!

I know this is an old thread but no point in making a new one for a question that can be answered in here. Anyone know the mounting depth of the front/rear speakers without the factory "enclosures"? I'll be making baffles most likely out of High Density Polyethylene (HDP, think cutting board) material in 1/4". Possibly 1/2" depending on mounting depths available.

So your running a component set with a crossover. I might have missed it but does your 2gs have the mark levinson system in it?? An what's the impedance of those speakers?? I just picked up an 02 gs430 with Navi and the ML system and looking to install a set of infinity reference components up from and a set of infinity reference coaxial speakers, but I keep getting conflicting information about the Impedances from the factory ML amp and aftermarket speakers. Any insight would be greatly appreciated as I don't want to try the amp or spend the time to have it end up sounding like 💩
