Does anyone have pictures of 6.5's in the door?

[kola]

I have read the posts to this forum, and everyone who has used 6.5s had to make their own template so the components fit into the factory speaker holes in the doors. There are ready-made templates for 5.5s. Why not 6.5s? Inidividuals are doing it, so why can't corporations?

I need ideas and advice on how to mount the 6.5s and tweeter in the doors.

Thanx

I think Metra makes a kit to install 6.5s in the door. I made my own because I 1)Didn't want to spend the money, 2)Like doing this kind of thing myself (more pride), and 3)Wanted the mounting plates to be MDF and not plastic. That said, do you want to mount the 6.5s and the tweeters behind the factory grill in the door? If that is the case, then you're right, there are no adapters because it is an extremely tight fit. Some metal may have to be cut away from the bottom of the speaker opening in the door so the 6.5 can be moved down so that the tweeter will fit as well. I mounted my tweeters higher to raise the soundstage.
