I know you have at least 2" in mounting depth. I can't say exactly how much more depth there is but these pics might help you out. Why do you ask, are you trying to chose replacement speakers for the doors?

What stereo system do you have? There is standard, hi-fi, and top hi-fi. ( top hi-fi = Logic 7 ). We do not get the standard system here in the US, but the hi-fi midrange are 20 watts and the L7 midrange are 40 watts. It is pretty hard to blow out the speakers since the car cuts more bass out as the volume increases.

I have the logic 7. My center has been blown and the mid in my drivers door is blown. i have the bass turned down, so idk why im having problems. What im thinking i might do is go with a alpine pdx amp and just let the factory amp do the underseat subs because i already have a 12 installed in the trunk. Maybe infinity kappas or any suggestions on some good speakers. Im not trying to break the bank tho.

There is one system which is higher than Logic 7...I dont really recall the name but it was twice the cost when the dealer quoted the price. Something like High End i dont know...lol
