If you go for 6" mids you might have to make a spacer to bring the speaker away from the door a little, to allow for the added mounting depth required. It's easy peasy and there's loads of room under the grills.

Got a basic set up myself of Kappa's up front, and a sub in the boot, all driven off an amp mounted to the rear seats. It's decent, goes plenty load enough for me, but maybe lacking in mid-bass. When I get the time I'll prob remount the tweets, as I don't like them on the doors. Oh, and it's a wagon, btw.

The Infinity 6" will fit, they actually come with an adaptor ring that means no messing about with MDF etc. For co-axials the 652i and comps 605cs will fit no probs.... not sure about Kappas tho. Plus if you look on the infinity web site the mounting depth is less for 6" than 5 1/4" !!!

talking of infinity speakers

anyone know if the Perfect6.1 speakers will fit in the doors of my 95WRX? as they really are quite deep.
