will those fit in my 2004 coupe front doors?
i dont have tools to make my own
they should as long as they're not bigger than 1". i know 3/4" fits, but i've heard that 1" won't allow the door panel to go on. at any rate, you'll have to drill holes with those, so you'll still need some tools.

dude its really not that hard. Im doin mine today. Go to homedepot and get some 1/2" or 3/4" mdf the smallest sheet they have and trace out the circle templates that came with ur speakers. Then screw those into ur doors. and then screw the speakers into the mdf. I know that my local shop sells 1/2" and 3/4" speaker circle things pre cut out from plastic but i think they're around 8.99 each and u can install them urself. it just saves u from cutting. Any good car audio shop should have them. Even a best buy should just ask the install department and they'll sell u the part.

Hope you dont mind me adding this electric130. You can do whatever you want with it, change wording, move it etc. I tried to follow the same format you used and loaded the pics as attachments.
Heres a continuation of the panel removal process for the COUPES
The steps are the same up to the removal of the sail panel.
pry up the screw cover inside the handle.
remove the phillips screw.
start from the front and pry up the door handle cover until you can slip a finger inside to pull off the panel.
Disconnect the power window connector and set the cover aside
Now remove the two phillips screws:
front...
back...
Then stick your hand inside the door handle opening and pull towards you to pop out one of the clips.
The rest of the instructions are the same as the sedan (pry up around the edge of the door panel to pop off the white clips)

Re: ~~~DIY Front Door Speaker Install Coupe and Sedan~~~
just FYI everyone.....instead of doing like the....make shift wiring like he did....you can goto best buy, or circuit city and get a speaker wire harness for our cars.....they come in pairs and fit the same on all 4 speakers. that way everything is gauranteed to work great and fit great.

it really depends on the speaker. mainly how tall the speaker is from the back of the frame where it would bolt to the door or a spacer and the top of the front. usually, that's the foam around the edge. i've found that most speakers fit on the front side with a 3/4" spacer ring. with a 1" spacer, a lot of people have had to trim the door panels. so there's really no clear answer to this. i gues if someone was willing to drill a big hole in their door panel and take some measurements, we could clear this up, but untill then, we'll have to go on a case by case basis.

I have infinity kappa 63.7i in my front doors with 1 inch spacers. The mounting depth of the speaker is 2 3/16. According to Crutchfield, this speaker doesn't fit, but it work for me with a 1 inch spacer.

can't help you on the coupe. that looks completely different than the sedan. shouldn't matter though, screws or bolts. probably not the original parts.
