1994 wagon 6.5 speakers in the doors

Hey Everyone!
I've got a 94 Wagon and am about to start working on the stereo. I plan on going back to the original SC810 head, but amplifying it and fitting new speakers. While I am planning on a small subwoofer, I want to know if it's possible to get 6.5 inch speakers into the front and rear doors for better midbass, while keeping the stock grilles. I'm pretty sure that after I passed my first 850 on to my younger brother, he was able to get them in the front doors, but he doesn't remember. Any help is really appreciated!

Thanks!

I think 5 1/4 is the maximum you can fit in there. Crutchfield says 4, but that´s not true.

On the rear doors you can use 5 1/4 but you need to use the old speakers to make the mounting work. I basically carved the old speaker out and then used its OEM frame to hold the new speaker. At one time I think Crutchfield had some adapter plates but I'm not sure they have them anymore. As I recall they were nearly as expensive as the speakers.

I think these Crutchfield brackets were for 4 inch speakers.
Nice hack, Lee!
