    I used the base model eclipse 6.5's in my white truck. I think 2.5" is the max mounting depth(there is not much room back there). I did one with some Diamond D3 coax's and had to space them 1/8", doing that caused the cone to hit the door panel so it had to be trimmed up. I know for a fact the Diamond D6 convertibles will fit and so do the eclipse without any modification. I think the Diamond D3 had a 2 3/8" depth but the magnet was bigger around and hit the door skin where the body line starts to curve up towards the window.

    Precision Power PPI, I have the 6.5" components in my front doors. They sound spectacular, especially for the price. I picked them up new on ebay for $100. I'm gonna get the 5.25" components for my rear doors next. Those I believe are like $60 new on ebay.
    GET OUT OF HERE WITH THAT RICER MATH!
