6.5" speaker in the rear door?

Just wondering if anyone has put 6.5 speakers in rear door? Will a 6.5 fit in a 5.25 hole? Or is there some modifying I will have to do.....

Don't know about the 04 but I have been thinging of either 6 1/2 or 6x9 in my 99 rear doors. It would take some cutting and mount a grille.

No for performance category, but., if you have a infinity system they call the rears 6 1/2 already. I just put some 6 1/2" alpines in the rears and they work fine. However, the infinity system has a built in crossover in the front doors that only lets the mid and low frequencies to the doors. So 6x9 with tweeters in the doors is a waist of money (so I've found out). I'll have to replace the factory amp.

For the new body 03-05 Rams, 6.5 will fit in the rear doors no problem. The front doors will only take smaller 6x9s.

Z60's Bostons front area, amazing sound, great low volume sound, had to space the fronts to clear window gizmo gear, just Dyno matting the doors really helps

I put kenwood x168's 2 way 6.5" sound great, did have to slightly enlarge the 3 holes in the door skin for the mounting screws. only took a few minutes to do and they sound great, my kids are now playing with the magnets from the cheap stockers!!

Just wondering what part of the door you Dynomatted? The area around the speaker, or up inside the door where the window is located (the inside part of the outer door skin)?

(the inside part of the outer door skin) is correct and around the speaker,,,,,

The funny thing is now I hear noise from the front and rear of the cab, those will be next.... At first I didn't think the stuff worked, made a huge difference, great product,,,,,,,,

hope this helps
