has anyone put six by nine speakers in the front doors of their eclipse?
 

just curious i got my door panel off and im not really sure how i could make that happen my door speakers right now are totally blown and i need something that can handle more watts. on a scale of one to ten how hard like a 3 maybe?

if they make a mounting bracket for it then i dont see why you cant... but i highly doubt you'll be able to use the one thats in there... i had to cut mine all apart just to put aftermarket replacements in

****, man, how much wattage do you intend to dedicate to your front speakers?? They make 6.5s thatll handle like 300w. Dont put 6x9s in there, itll be hard as hell, and youll find its not worth the effort. Get a good set of components. MB Quart makes some good ones that will handle at least 200w.

I got MB Quartz all around and it fited fine. Removed stock infinity and just put them in line up the holes and put the screws in. Maybe it was just the model i got but the 6x9 and 6 1/2 all fited in stock location with no aditional work.

you can put 6x9's in there but it's basicallly a weekend project. your gonna need a dremel and a few heads for it. you have to basically carve the sides out of the stock mounting brackets and "convince" the speakers to fit in there. it's possible but not fun, nor worth it b/c the speaker is not being housedso you don't get very good sound from it. 6.5's are the best bet, i had an alpine component system in the front along w/ alpine 6.5 coax's in the back w/ 1 12" alpine sub runnin of a 450w amp and it sounded awesome.
