it is behind the glove box and a pain to remove. i would just leave it .

 

www.kicker.com/mopar That is all.

 

yeah kickers are nice but im going a little more high end than that. although i will say that their cvt12 (i have 2) are pretty amazing for a shallow mount and for the price. so thanks anyway

 

hey oki did you use the 5.25 in the back? im wanting to do 6.5's just trying to find out if anyone has done that yet. and how they went about it. im thinking just build a board that will bringthe 6.5 out 3/4 inch. im hoping that it will fit then

 

no i did 6.5 and used the adapter plate that came with it. i will probabaly take them out and make something out of wood though. its really easy. use your old speaker as a template and cut out the new hole and install

 

i think your talking about the 6x9's. my rears are 5.25 do you have a pic of what you did? putting a 6.5 in a 5.25 doesnt seem "easy" but then again i need to see my door panels before i go saying anything. lol

 

no i put the 6.5's back there and i did the 6.5 typre-r coaxils back there in my 05 ram. i just mounted them to the adapter plate that they come with and fit it in there and turn it and manipulate it until it seats w/o touching anything. i didn't take any pics bc i didn't think any one would care. i plan on re doing it. i will get a factory speaker for a template so the mounting holes match, trace it then transfer the 6.5 measurements over it cut and apply. there is plenty of room in there to make it work. i should have done it like this the first time but it was getting late and i didn't think my neighbors would appreciate the saws running at 1 am +. it will fit trust me. right now i have less than a 1/4 inch spacer and it fits. counter sink your screws so the speaker wont touch them

 

sweet bro thanks for your help. 1 last question for now lol. is the adapter plate just a ring thats 5.25 inside diameter, and 6.5 outside? thats what seems to be logical to me

 

That would be correct ^^ Actually I've seen pics and from what I've seen, it's a ring that you mount to 5.25 location and then 6.5's can mount into it's holes located elsewhere on the ring.

 

the one that came with the speakers im not sure. i have an extra set in my garage from the front ill measure tomorrow. i think its 6.5 bc the woofer just sits in there but the gap puts it out far enough for everything to clear. it wasn't pretty and i drilled 2 holes in my truck for it to sit right. that is why i would reccomend doing the wood method it should mount easier. plus the one i put them in there with is plastic and its not flush. the fronts sit pretty and i feel are sealed better. i would tear it apart and get you pics but it is too cold for me right now.
