just curious but why ported? are the 6.5's providing your low bass? i know that ports have to be very precisely designed. the pros use software to calculate port length and diameter. and even the position of the port to the woofer is important. although ported boxes can hit a slightly higher db then sealed boxes if they are not perfectly designed you are probably losing quality. sealed is the way to fly for panel speakers always. but i would love to hear why and how you ported them because i could be misinformed.

I just removed the extensions, drilled new holes, and attached the speakers right to the plate. Also had to trim a bit off the door panel cause it was pushing onto the speaker.

So you just stuffed some material behind it. Doesn't seem like its sealed very good, but as long as it works for you thats all that matters right. So judging by what Ive seen in this thread it appears to be pretty easy to make a faceplate to upgrade to a larger set of speakers, weather your using your OEM speaker pods or not right?

I just installed 6.5 components for the fronts and rear. I did exactly what xspsi6 did. also once you get rid of the extensions and trim the door panel from the inside, the speakers wont hit whatsoever. Very very easy to do and beats having to custom fab something.
