Speakers in the doors?
Has anyone put speakers in the doors? Was thinking about 6x9s but would there be any window clearance issues?
Post up and let me know please, thanks.

Re: Speakers in the doors?
I think you have to have electric windows as the handle for a manual window would either hit the speaker cover, or rub your knuckles off on the speaker cover.
I picked up a nice set of door speakers and enclosures from a caddy at the boneyard that would fit well on the Camaro door, but I haven't tried installing them as it would mean destroying my door panels. But these Caddy enclosures would add about 1 inch outwards for better clearance of a speaker magnet in relationship to the window.

more or less shows the process. after the speaker was mounted, i put the door panel back on, and aligned the disc(piece of cardboard that comes with speakers) thats the size of the speaker, with the speaker. then attached it to the door panel with tape, and just taced the position of the circle like that... if yall need anymore help i can make a short video

Re: Speakers in the doors?
