Mounting depth in the front doors

Will speakers with a 75 to 75.5 mm depth fit in the doors?

Will 14 or 23 mm tweeter depths fit in the stock location?

Yes.... there is alot of room in the door... roll down your window and remove the panel and speaker... then measure the room... you'll notice that the actual window doesn't even go down to where the speaker is... the speakers I have are more than 4 inches deep... and I'm only using a 1/2" MDF spacer... However, you will have to widen the existing speaker opening to fit MOST aftermarket speaker in there...

Yes... to the tweeter depth... what I would recommend you to do is surface mount your tweeter to the factory grill/cover... you'll get much better sound quality...

Good Luck

how much do you have to mangle the speaker housing to fit them in?

it all depends on the speakers you're using... they might have the NEO magnets that are tiny... and no triming of the existing sheet metal is necessary...

The sheet metal on the door is thin... a dremel would do the job...
