Yow can fit 6.5" in 2 places in the doors.  they will fit in the original
4" wells (you can use 2 holes that are alredy there to mount them)  and
you can put them in the lower part of the door (involves cutting).  If you
have pwr windows, it should be no problem, but the top ones are kinda
tricky (but do-able) with the crank windows.  They add a LOT to the
system.  I still need to trim my panels to fit over them better, and trim
the factory grills to cover up the holes.

Good luck
Mark
