Default Front speaker mounting depth

Im goign to be ordering some components tommorow, just wondering if anyone knew the mounting depth for our front speakers. The components I want are 6.5 and have a 2 5/8" mounting depth. I know I have to cut to get the 6.5" to fit, but will the mounting depth be enough?

I have Apline 6.5 splits in the front doors of my Soarer. No cutting, just made a new panel to mount them onto the door and that was it. Deep and wide enough.

Hmm..

You could cut the stock housing if you were in a rush and did not care about sound quality or longevity. However, if you plan on making a quality baffle board/enclosure out of wood or fiberglass, then the depth is based on your own design. The stock housing is deep, but not very wide at the base. If you removed the stock enclosure, you could go 4" into the door, but it would not sound nearly as good.

probably that he took the bottom half of the stock enclosure and made a template out of mdf, like in the SC speaker install sticky, and then mounted his speakers in there. OR...he took that design and made his own bracket for them to mount to the door. I did the first mentioned method and it works great, just make sure to properly anchor the enclosure to the door. Dynamat is also a good idea to get back some of the midrange.
