Does maxima door take 6 3/4 or 6 1/2? I just don't want to get speakers that are too small for the front doors. I'm looking at DSD216.

 

DSD216 are good speakers but your car deserves better.

I'm getting a custom enclosure done next week. It will be one Kicker L7 8" firing into the hatch hole with plexiglass back. A Phoneix Gold XS6600 in a amp rack below it. I'm trying to plan out the rest of my system. I'm going for small system due to lack of money and I don't want to much added weight.

For front speakers, I don't want to spend more than $200. Here are some of the ones I have been looking at. RF Fanatic X, JL VR and MB DSD216.

 

i would seriously take a look at cdt cl series and a/d/s 2 series coaxial speakers. Also, focal low end speakers. Those 3 are some of the best sounding for the money. Much better than the brands you mentioned

 

Where's the best place to get the CDT speakers? Only place I have seen them is on sounddomin. Sounddomin is little more pricy than other internet sites I have seen.

That is just about the only place I will consider buying from. The owner is very knowlagable, very helpful, and has great prices. CDT's are the ones I would recommend as well, but he carries Focals and some ADS products as well.....

6.5s will fit easier than 6.75s. I strongly agree with the other guys for all the effort that you have put into your car, and all the effort that it takes to install front speakers properly I wouldn't skimp out. Just add the sub(s) for now and get out and listen to different speakers to see what you like best. Personally I love my a/d/s, but different tastes call for different flavors.

If you go 1/2 way you'll prolly regret it.

4th gen cars have 6.75" speakers in the door, not 6.5. So the 6.75" fit easier. 6.5" sometimes need a spacer ring to make them fit.

 

I got 6.5 Audiobahn up front and they fit perfectly like leather on a tight body...
