A little help on adding 6.5 door speakers

Hey y'all, I have been reading up on doing the 6.5 door speakers.... Was wondering if someone has done a how-to on installing these.

I am looking for info on how to actually mount these in the door opening as well as a good way to measure and cut the door panel.

I already researched and found that my bostons will fit my doors as i have manual windows.

Car is an 85 Camaro....

I can't say the best location to cut, as I have never done the mod on these cars, but if you have the cash, I would go with the aftermarket Q-logic kick panel sets, you can get them for $150-$180/set, it allows you to install 6.5s and a tweeter in the kick panels. No cutting required

Ive seen the kicks and actually did a dry fit of one in the past and I did not care for them at all...

I have a BRAND NEW set of these kicks. Uncut just as the factory would send them. Looking for 125 shipped for them
