Default speaker clearance

looking to upgrade to 3 way coaxial speakers and I need to know the clearance between the speaker and the stock door grille. Most 3 ways have the mid and tweeter protruding pretty far from the speaker center. Will these fit?

thanks guys. One more question, do i have to take the whole door panel off or can I just take the speaker cover off and snap it back on? Same question for the back deck.

they fit just fine but do not buy these. I installed both of them just to find out that our stock amp does not have the power to push these like it does the stock speakers. I was very dissapointed. You cant get them to turn up loud enough. I installed the stock speakers cause they were better with the stock amp. Unless you plan on running these off an aftermarket amp steer clear. They are very power hungry.

They are 2ohm speakers, if you still have the stock stereo your no were near the right ohm. They look like really nice speakers though.

stock amp won't have enough power to push barely anything. if you're going to upgrade your speakers upgrade to an amp also.
