I bought this enclosure so that I could practice and evaluate various options before modifying the enclosures in my car. I may decide to stay with a 5.5 inch speaker like the stock units and just upgrade the quality of the component.
There is some room to use I think a .25” adapter to give you some extra depth. I will check the speaker depth on my box. You have to watch the room between the door panel to. There are some thin mount 6.5” speakers.
