How much difference in sound between 5.25 & 6.5's would it be worth cutting the panels for the 6.5's.
Is there somewhere I could get a tutorial on modifing door panels because I've never done it before.

wellto start you need to figure out how deep you can go and then get a speaker that accomodates your needs. then make a thin baffle to mount that speaker to by tracing your factory speaker on to the material and then adding any extra you need for the new speaker...also watch the clearance between the front of the speaker and the door panel itself....really though if your factory speaker is 5 1/4 i would just bolt a set of 5 1/4 in there until you get more experience...stuffing a larger speaker into a door while having the panel fit and the window go up and down can sometimes be a pain in the neck and if you dont have the right tools, experience and patience.......

Buy 5 1/4's

Theres only like 3/16" between the platics houseing that holds the speaker and the plstic door panel.

Use 5 1/4's or cut the door panel/plastic up...

How would I get 6.5's in the door panels without modifing the door panels there is almost no room behind them.
What would I do to get them to fit, also would the magnet get in the way of the power window?. I would really appreciate a basic idea on how I would install them & still be able to get the door panel back on.
I know I could get them to fit if I cut up the panel but I really don't want to do that because I'm a begginer & would more than likely ruin them

.
If any of you guys could help me I would really appreciate it! :excited:

I have all my wiring ran Power remote rca's & speaker from the doors the ground is already connected from using a cd changer.All I have to do is connect the power wire to the Battery & everything will be ready to wire up.
I also need to get some subs & an amp for them.

My head unit is a Premier DEH-P900R a little dated but still has a lot of cool features.
I'm pretty sure the stock speakers in my monte are 4" coax their tiny.
What are CDT Classics never heard of them. What front component/amp setup did you have in mind which brands? also I was wondering why should I lose the 6x9's in the rear wouldn't it be decent rear fill?
