Just gotta have some baffles made to bolt onto the stock 4x6 spot and have cut outs for 5.25" speakers. Anyone who makes boxes can make them. 1/2" thick mdf should be plenty depending on what speakers you plan to drop in.

Just curious what are you paying for those? Not that they're the worst in the world, but they're deep for a j door and can usually be outperformed for their cost.

For $90? That's a tough budget. If you can get Type-R 5.25" components, I think you will be happy for $90. I would personally get someone to make some 6.5" baffles from 1/2" thick MDF and spend more money on some 6.5" components and either ditch the rears, or leave them off head unit power and get a 2 channel for the fronts.
