Will 6.5 inch speakers fit in the doors?

[Gottaviper]

I am planning on replacing my door speakers with some JL components I have sitting around but the stock size is 5.25. will theses fit? They have small magnets and I could make brackets.

They should fit. Why don't you just remove one of the speakers in the door and match up the screw holes to your new ones?

Almost..
I did some minor adjustments with the Sony Explod's. Same thing with the center console.

i had to trim my speaker hole to fit my bostons but they will go.

Focal/JM Lab 165W's fit in the door of a 2001 GTS.

Infinity makes a 6.5 that fits perfectly with no modification!

i put an insane stereo in my car a few years ago. didnt hack anything up either. The main thing you need to worry about with the speaker is the depth of the magnet. make sure it doesnt go so far into the door that it obstructs anything internal... if it did, a shop or a good home fabricator could make a spacer to allow for sufficient clearence. good luck and dont go half asp with what you buy.

My mistake they are not JL's they are MB Quarts premiums.

I am going to attempt to make a 1/4 in ring for mounting I believe I have the clearance throught the door skin grills.
Thanks for the help

that'll work. i took chose the quarts. nice move. they sound great but love to get plenty of power tossed into them. what are you planning on using.

Probably Alpine small 4 channel bridged to two to save space in trunk for top

if you didnt get the amp yet, may I make a suggestion to you? dont go alpine for the amp! they ****. and if you get a small 4 channel and bridge it into a 2 channel it will most likely run warm to hot. and then what would you use to run the other speakers in your viper? i would go with a good strong 2 channel rather than turn the 4 into a 2. my choice is jl for the amp. going with a 300/2 would blow the heck out of those mb quarts and is small enough to wedge in the factory opening i believe. if you need an amp with more channels to run other speakers go with a jl series with a 4 or 5 channel piece. you will need to get creative on where you mount it because they get too large for the factory location but it can be done quite nicely with some good thought. I DID! and I used a surf board styled 5 channel jl amp on my gts project and it thumps serious sound!

you also can not go wrong with most any amp made in the (are you sittin down, ) the usa. believe it or not we still make a few things better than our foreign competion does.

I like the JL 500/5. I put it behind the passenger seat with a bracket hooked to the bumper screws.
