Jeremy,

Ithink fitting a set of 6x9's in the front door would a hard to do for the reason that they are such a deep mounting speaker and the baffle needed to raise them off the door far enough would hinder the door trim from mounting flush around the speaker. But, i havent tried to mount a 6x9 in my door, so i could be way wrong on this one.

But, what i would recomend is a set of 5 1/4 components or coaxials, as these can easily be fitted in the door with a 1/4" to 1/2" baffle to raise them off the door and still allow the door trim to fit flush. And there are many more brands to choose from out there that will sound much better then a set of 6x9's. Some brands I recomend are: Focal, Polk Momo, Diamond Audio, Dynaudio, MB Quart. Some of those are pretty pricey, but the Polk Momo line is far cheaper and sounds just as good as the big boys ( I currently have a set of 5 1/4 components the I mounted in my door this week and I am highly impressed, nice strong mid bass and crystal clear vocals and highs)

I can post some pics of my doors later this weekend to show you how i mounted them.

Again, these are only my recomendations and others here might have far better ideas but thought I would toss my 2 cents out there for you too think about.

Glen
