I guess I'm not most guys. I cut the doors. Not too long after that aftermarket kick panel speaker mounts were available. I would have used them.

My doors came pre-cut for me by a previous owner (looked like they did it with a dull battle axe based on the quality of the speaker install) so I ended up putting new speakers in those holes after doing what I could to smooth the edges. If I ever do new door cards they will cover the holes and made it appear normal, but for now I'm using what I have.

I think i might cut the doors, all four as its a CC, for 5". I plan to use the foam baffles behind.

What i cant find is correct looking metal speaker grills. I'll paint/ powdercoat to match interior but haven't been lucky finding them.
