I also think that we might be able to shoehorn a 6x9 in the front door. That black plastic housing that the speaker mounts to looks like it could be adapted to fit them.
Why? 6X9's suck big time! They will not outperform a 6-1/2" round speaker mounted in a door. In a trunk, they will play much lower but at the expense of sound quality.

Actually not true with today's manufactures making better and more stable cones in 6X9's there actually just as good as 6 1/2. I would not go and say they are better but they are sure better than they use to be. I would stick with 6.5 though

Well thats good to hear because there is a significant displacement difference between a 6X9 and 6.5" driver. They are pretty close to an 8" if I am not mistaken.
