i am big in audio bro haha. i will help you.
i fit 6.5s in the doors before BUT you have to make a template and they get really close to the panels and can hit. i went with 5.25s and they fit like a glove. make a template to fit the 6.5s and make sure its thick enough to hold the mid. then just screw it into door WITHOUT the speaker in it and pre drill the holes for the speaker to attach to it so you dont go pokin a drill through your mid haha

good luck..
