How to mount 6.5 speakers

k ive got a 2003 sunfire with door pannels that wont allow me to put 6.5s in it now im wondering if theres a how to make 6.5 ports in each door pannel ive got the mounts just not enough room for the door pannels to go on so id need to modify these pannels for these things to fit.

you can make a door kit as you called it out of mdf or plywood and sink the speakers into it

hey bud your in luck i'm mounting 6.5" in my cavalier doors, which are very similar to yours. I'm just cuttin out a fairly large hole in the main panel, added mdf layers to hold the speaker, then gonna seal up a nice contour with fiberglass. Should look pretty snazzy when all is said and done. Too bad I gotta wait for warm weather...
