Jake, try searching in top right corner, remember this topic from not long ago

Not sure what the max depth is but you could always make a spacer out of mdf or plywood if you needed

I brought 2x spacers in a packet already covered in Super Cheap Autos for under $15 clams & if you position them correctly over the factory speaker wholes, you will get enough clearance from your window winder.

As shown in this Pic of the ones I mounted in mine.

I bought the speakers linked: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002YU4VE/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i01
They need a 6mm spacer, which I cut from ply. The bonus is you can leave the door cover as it is and the speaker covers as well! Too easy.
Looks 100% original from the outside and sounds heaps better.

that doesnt hit when you shut the door?

[Flo-w]

Not sure what you mean. Hit what?
I've put them into doors with manual windows. Fits perfectly with the 6mm spacer. In a GQ (just realized you didn't say what car you actually have?).

[jakepatrol]

got a gq, manual windows aswell,
does it hit the dash when you shut the door? like the side of it
also how deep are your speekers?
the ones im looking t are 6.5inch and 64mm deep

I've got these on a 25mm spacer and they don't come close to fouling on anything.
I actually have changed them since to ones with a grill over them which sticks out another ~40mm and still doesn't come close.

i think mine are higher for some reason :/

[Winnie]

Mine have electric windows and door pockets on the bottom so it's possible.

[jakepatrol]

Doesn't hit the dash. It looks original.
Not sure how deep they are. Amazon says 2.8 inch (7.1cm) and mounting depth of 1.25 inch (3.2cm).
6.5 inch diameter might be a bit much. The original speakers (lying next to me) are 6.5 inch (16.5cm) but there's a big, flat rim with a minimum of 15-20mm for mounting it.

If in doubt, open the door panel and take measure. It only takes a few minutes.
Or buy speakers others have used successfully.

Nice job mate, it does look factory & neat....... Love your work.

[Flo-w]

Thanks mate. If I can cover up all the mess I made it looks pretty good. ;)
I'm actually surprised the spacers got that round without a compass. I used a screw, some wire and a pen...
