I am considering replacing the stock speakers as I can get a good deal on some new Infinity speakers through a friend. Do I have 6.5s in all 4 of my doors? I know the DIs have problems with depth of new speakers, do the DIIs have a problem? Crutchfield has no data for LRs, thus I post here. Is speaker replacement hard to do? I assume I would have to pull the whole door panel off. PS-I am not new to this board, I just had to re-register because I can't remember my user ID and password. Thanks!

There tricky though. I had to do some minor adjustments.I didnt have to pull the door panel off, just the grille. You might want to ask someone in the car stereo field. \//   Craig Kobayashi (Koby) Dweb Lounge Member Username: Koby Post Number: 1055 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Thursday, February 12, 2004 - 02:11 pm:    Chris, It's either 6" or 6.5" in all of the doors. I have to go back and double check my receipts to be sure though. It's been two years since I did my 2001 SD.   Craig Kobayashi (Koby) Dweb Lounge Member Username: Koby Post Number: 1060 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Friday, February 13, 2004 - 01:37 am:    Chris, I replaced my stock speakers with Diamond Audio M561 speakers, which is of the 6.5" variety.   Jeff Mclaird (Granitedisco) Member Username: Granitedisco Post Number: 223 Registered: 08-2003 Posted on Friday, February 13, 2004 - 02:24 am:    Craig - what do you think of them? My wife wants a set for her car - all the reviews I've read say they're really damn good. But I haven't chatted to anyone who actually owns some. Want to find out before I drop a few hundred on some speakers. thanks Jeff   Craig Kobayashi (Koby) Dweb Lounge Member Username: Koby Post Number: 1061 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Friday, February 13, 2004 - 04:04 am:    What do I think of my speakers?   Christopher J.

If so, did putting in the 6.5s in all 4 doors require any modifications? I can't find any reliable info and I don't feel like tearing into the door not knowing the issues I may run into. Please elaborate on the install of your Diamonds. Thanks!   Craig Kobayashi (Koby) Dweb Lounge Member Username: Koby Post Number: 1062 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Friday, February 13, 2004 - 01:51 pm:    Chris, No mods necessary for me. The speakers were a drop in replacement. Just have to take off the front door pocket off for the front doors, and the rear speaker grill just pops off. Just be careful that you don't break the door panel. It's a foam / plastic and flexes very easily.
