i bought a set of 6.5's for the rears but they were still too small.

 

unless someone made the whole bigger, the speakers werent 6.5s

 

I agree....unless the 9's speaker sizes changed from the 8's, standard 6.5" speakers will NOT fit.

I have 6.5" MB Quarts in the fronts and backs and they needed custom mounting to fit properly.

 

are the speaker holes shallow or deep *for the magnets*?

 

The holes are pretty deep. I just put a set of Pioneer mid woffers in the doros and still have 2-3" between the door and the magnet. it would have to be a pretty deep speaker to not fit. Also like others mentioned I had to make a addapter ring to fit the 6.5" speaker in. The hole in the door is 6" The average 6.5" speaker has the mounting points on a 6" diameter circle.

 

yea i have a 10 w7 in my little mazda protege and it beats the **** out of my friends 12 T1 with my amp down then i turn it up and blew him out the water. oh by the way his is in a pathfinder so it should sound better. also should i keep my w7 and stick it in my evo once i get it or will it feel a lot slower because of the weight?

what do you think about focal ks's? or v2's?.. and focal 11 inch subs, and focal amps.. ?..
i am thinking of installing or have it installed a whole focal package

 

I have a Related Question, What is the Tweeter size, If tweeters only come in one Size ok. I am an Audio noob.

 

Most tweeters are about the same size. Different brands are slightly different sizes, but most brands don't offer more than one size. Wiht a little work you should be able to fit any of them in the stock location.

 

JL audio makes some of the best subs on the market . i dont have an Evo yet but i did install a system in my friends 8

2-alpine type R 6.5 up front
2-alpine type r 6.5 out back
powered by alpine f450
i just used alpines mounting bracket and they fit perfectly.

for the lows we did 1 JL audio 10"W7 powered by JL 1000/1

the system had a nice balance of lows and mids the highs where a lil weak but that was fine with us. if you are worried about weight and trunk space the 8"W7 is a nasty lil sub in a great package.

 

I did an entire Focal setup. You won't be disappointed.

Eclipse AVN6600 6.5" touch-screen navigation source unit

Rear: Focal 165CV1 (6.5" coaxial)

Pioneer 6.75"/Oversized 6.5" speakers seem to fit fine. Check out their new component system.

 

I have never uses jl but i can def. tell you that ma audio makes some amazing subs. I have had 2 12s for awhile and they are amazing. that and kicker i have had good luck with.
