Well the OEM stuff already has 1.25" spacers in the doors. I fit some cerwin vega 6.5" speakers in there, but I had to make a 1" space (2.25" total) to avoid hitting the glass. The door interior worked fine with the spacers.

I had problems with fitting dash speakers in my TII there doesnt seem to be much depth there. I was installing 3.5" or 4" I dont remember Boston Acoustics.

yeah, the "under dash" speakers are 4 inch I believe. Crutchfield sells them - www.crutchfield.com .

You can call them & verify.

I installed some infinity speakers under there. You should put a crossover (or bass blockers if your cheap) to filter below 100hz.
