it all depends on the type of factory system you have if you have the 6 1/2 in the front already than you should be ok if not than you can either cut your 5 1/4 down or buy a set of 6/12 brackets for the front doors. my car had the infinity system so mine had 6 1/2 but my other rs had 5 1/4 just so you know though no matter what speaker you put down there the sound quality really sucks because of the position. just my 2 cents.

get urself some 1/2 inch mdf rings, use screws to fasten them onto the door metal, then put the speakers onto the rings. makes a big diff, man. my doors are like that, just a bit more comple i can get some pics up if u want, PM me if u want to see
I just wish my car was as fast as it was loud. people tell me i should use my sub to push it, it might go faster.

I have 5 1/4" speakers in the doors. Has anyone fit 6.5" speakers in the 5 1/4" brackets by cutting the brackets? Would cost too much to buy the 6.5" brackets from the dealer.
This is confusing because Crutchfield says the 5 1/4" Infinity speakers won't fit, but also says 6.5" speakers will fit on cars without the Infinity system.
If anyone has put 5 1/4" speakers in 5 1/4" brackets with no probs, please let me know.

I have 8" Memphis Audio components in my doors. All I did was remove the factory speaker mount and made a new one from some 5/8" wood. Fit just right and sound awesome!

I spent about 30 minutes and hand fabbed some speaker rings out of 1/4" MDF for the speaker brackets. They work great, except the MDF flexes when I increase the power to the speakers and you can hear them rattling against the door. 1/2" MDF would be the smallest thickness I would go with. I will be redoing mine soon and will probably through some felt on there for good measure this time around. I can post pictures when I do it and make a how to if need be.

I was able to fit 6.5"s in my doors keeping the smaller black base still in the door. What I did have to do was trim the plastic rings on the doors as they were hitting the speaker.
