    So I lucked out with my Boston Acoustic s60's They fit in my door without making any rings. The magnets cleared the windows too. Just a little FYI.

    I would like to add, I had to drill the screws in at an angle. But worked beautifully.

    Sounds like you got lucky. I'd like to do 6.5's if I replace my front speakers again. Those s60's look like a pretty shallow speaker though.

    They do sound pretty good. I might have to look into getting a set for the front.

    All I had to do was grind away a little on the existing plastic mount. Kenwood slid under it a bit and install was done.

    I took out the stock baffles. The BA's fit right in the door. Granted they dont aim at the driver and passenger like Id want. I suppose I could always do that later.
