pretty much anything over 2.2" raw driver depth, or about 2" standard mount depth. no matter what, you might have to do some trimming.

I wsa about to get the infinity Kappa Components, but were unsure if i can fit them in.

clevengercm: which infinitys were you going to get and let us know how they fit in. I came this close | | to buying an old pair of infinity 60CS, but i dont know if they will fit. 2.2" is rather shallow and most components i found were about 2.5"

yup, youll be in the same boat im in. theyre close to fitting, but will require cutting, not to mention finding a spot for the crossover. how much do you value the inside of your door panels?:rolleyes: but seriously, with a stock place for a tweeter, why would you sacrifice sound cause you have to do a little work? thats how the import scene got started--a bunch of people makiong their own parts or making existing parts fit cause thats what they wanted. BUT, these polks are too big in my opinion. you need to make an extra half inch of space for em. you also have to make them clear the window, and make the door panel fit back on. if you want to mess with it, go for it. or just buy kick panels.

there is some good news, though. for almost the same price, you can get these: http://cgi.ebay.com/MB-Quart-DUA-21...ryZ32819QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
these WILL fit in our cars without hacking your doors to sh!t.
