Kinda like to old engine motto: "There's no replacement for displacement". Gotta love upgrades.

Re: out with the 5.25 in with the 6.5s

I figured out a way to put 5.25's components in the dash of my Camaro. Sounds great and I didnt have to cut holes in my doors.

I used a thin sheet of plywood and made brackets that fit in the factory brackets and kept the speakers out of the dash pad and barely cleared the ducting on the drivers side. Looks good, I mounted the tweeters facing me under the dash. You can barely see them.

Re: out with the 5.25 in with the 6.5s

Are those mounting brackets ones that came with the speakers or did you buy them somewhere. I never realized it would be that easy to put speakers in the door with manual windows.

they came with the speakers, the infinity refrence i used come with both the metal one and plastic ones, but i felt the metal rings had a lower profile so i used those.

Re: out with the 5.25 in with the 6.5s

Sweet deal, I've been thinking about getting the Rockford Power series componets, or trying the shallow punch versions. I'm so glad I saw this thread lol. The dash speakers juts reflect too much off the windshield and gives and uneven imaging even when using time alignment.
