Are you sure the rears aren't 3.5" instead of 4's?

Actually, Dan's are 3.5" speakers. Thanks for the correction.

With Alpines I could not fit Alpine Type R 6.5", I had to settle for the 5.25"


Was the problem fitting the 6.5" because of depth or diameter?

I managed to fit my 6.5" JL's, but I had to space them out by about a 1/2".

Any door panel modifications needed?

Yes, actually I did need to do a little bit of trimming, but it was pretty minimal.
