Don't do it unless you wanna chop up your door panels and possibly hack your doors, otherwise take door panel off see if it'll fit then cut door panel accordingly

Are these the original door panels and are they in good shape?  A guy on Trans Am County sells a kick panel that houses speakers.

Don't waste the money on those either, put two 3.5s up front in the original, and be done

Does your car have AC? I think Q-logic or somebody makes carbon kick panels that hold some pretty nice size spkrs. I'd strap a ghetto blaster to the roof before i'd butcher a door, door panel, console or package tray again. just saying!

just mount them under dash or something. You have to cut your door or have custom door panels made to house the speakers.

buy two 6x9 boxes with plenty of speaker wire and put them where ever you want them.  you can move them to front to back, put them on top the roof when parked, etc.  i had them in my mustang convertible behind my seats and they rocked, and it was cool to be able to move them around or remove them when needed.  costs was minimal.
