[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7849591, member: 576029"] if it were me, i'd do the following: make a MDF spacer that gives you the desired depth while providing a good mounting surface. the desired spacer depth can be achieved using layers of rings. the outer-most ring would include t-nuts for driver mounting. increase the cutout size of the factory door panel to match the speaker grill. use foam weatherstripping to create seals between the new spacer and the metal doors and between the speaker and the spacer. paint/resin/coat the spacer to waterproof it. bolt the spacer to the door, screw speaker to spacer. my build logs has a similar process if you want your investment to be worth it, plan on spending 4-6 hours or more fabricating new door speaker mounts/rings/seals.
