Default Two 6.5's (C5)

Will a pair of 6.5's and a tweet fit inside the door panel on a C5 coupe?

I have 3 pairs of Infinity Kappa Perfects laying around that I'd hate to see 1 pair go to waste, so before I start planning everything out I wanted to know (from the masters ) if they'd all fit.

Lots of room inside those doors for the creative installer.

But

I think the masters are going to tell you that you will have a very difficult time controlling the sound quality with two 6.5's in each door.

I don't want to be rude but really, more speakers will just be,,,, more speakers. There is no reason you can't get all the sound quality you are looking for with one set in the doors.

I have the Infinity 6010cs. I fit the speakers, tweets and the crossover all on the front of the board. No issues.

its doable but i wouldnt do it, and by doable you are gonna have to most likely cut some of the actual door frame to fit em in

IMO, I'd put the Xover on the panel just to the rear of the speaker plate. (unless it's really small)

If you put two sets of speakers up front, you're just going to have a total mess of a sound stage, and tons of cancellation. Dont do it.

Alright, I will stick to one set in the door and one set in the rear. Has anyone used some Kappa Perfects? Noticeable gain over the stock blose?
