Well all day long I worked to get my speakers installed (2 sets of components in front and 2 sets in the rear). All went in the factory speaker location. Here is a final pic of the front speakers...
The fronts are 6.5 and I was barely able to fit them in with a custom template I made for them. Before I did that, I took everything off and sprayed inside each door with Dynamat spray.

Here is a pic of the inside of the door sprayed with dynamat...

After the spraying was done, I put on the custom template I made. They are similar to ThomasKenyons but probably arent quite as good (but I saved a little cash making them myself) Like I said, these are 6.5" in the front and they will fit. The stock fronts are 4", so you can easily fit any speaker 4" - 6.5" in there but you will definetly need some type of a custom template. Here are the ones I made for the front and rear...

After the templates were in, the doors fit over them good. The speakers lined up nice with the stock grill in the door. I had to cut holes for the tweeters. Here is a pic of the door on with the grill off...

Let me know what you think. I am going to build a sub box for the hatch tommorow for my (2) 12" subs.
