if you don't want to cut or anything, you'll need 6-1/2" shallow mount speakers.... if you don't mind cutting, any 6-1/2" speaker will fit

you'll have to check the speaker's top mounting depth, but i believe it needs to be less than 1-5/8" to fit without cutting out the back of the bracket


really with a dremel, it should take you less than 5 minutes to cut out the bracket behind the speaker mount...

You could probably make an MDF baffle and bring them out a little too, without interfering with a factory fit. Take a good look at it before you buy the speakers.

MDF Baffle??
MDF is a type of wood usually 3/4" thick. Make a bracket/baffle so the speaker sits on top of the MDF. The MDF will bring the speaker farther out make it fit.
Regularly it would be just the metal on the door then speaker.
With the baffle it would be, metal on the door, homemade bracket, then the speaker.
It just gives you an extra 3/4" clearance.
It's not hard to make.

MDF Baffle should be used in ANY speaker install. Increased mid-bass response.
