Aftermarket speaker compatibility - Depth

Hi All,

Did anyone install any aftermarket speaker other than PlugNPlay speakers like Bavsound, Focal, etc?

The reason that I'm asking is the depth of speaker and if I need a space to install speaker to each door that I will upgrade.

I never consider depth of the aftermarket speakers but they seem to be a problem as some speakers are really thick.

Thanks

Thanks Victor

I’ve found those brackets on ebay but my question is about
The speaker depth that you installed. Was the depth of speaker fit in the door and how did you connect the speaker to the original connector ?

I have a Kenwood 805 amp for the infinity reference speakers. it's much better than the stock. or should I said the stock was too bad....
I got 2 earthquake sub. and a pair of morel tweeter now as well. the sound is good now but I think a dsp amp may be able to improve a bit with the positioning problem
