RE: Alpine or Kenwood?
All the edi stuff in 6.5 inches. I would double check the size of the stocks. If all else fails, run a 5.25 comp set.
You will want to upgrade the subs also. A 4 channel amp and a sub would work witha set of comps.
The sound deadening would cover the outer door skinand the inner door skin.

6x8 is basically the same size as 5x7. you can make the 6.5s fit NO problem. many people are running 6.5s in 5x7 locations. i would drop down one notch on the components, add some sound deadener, and get a new sub and box. then get the 4 channel amp. Preal know what he is talking about. listen to him.

you do not need to trim it for the 6.5's if you use a 1\2" mdf baffle. I have done it a million times in a mustang and never had a problem.

Here is how I did them in my truck with a simple enclosure.
