Help With Polk Momo speakers

After a bit of research I have decided to go with the Polk Momo 6.5" coaxle speakers (mmc-650) to put in my MY04 WRX. I have heard its wise to put 6.5's in the front as well as the rear. Will I have any problems fitting the speakers into the doors?
Also, does anyone have these speakers? I am pretty sure these are the ones I want but any imput will due.

Thanks

Justin

You will most likely need spacers, and if you can afford to I'd go with Nakamichis or Infinity.

Yeah but If I turn the volume up with just the fronts replaced, the rears might blow or sound like poop. I have the money to get 2 pairs of momos. I just want to make sure they will fit in the front. Where do i get the spacers for them?

standard advice:

1. get biggest and BEST speakers you can afford in the front

2. get a kick *** subwoofer.

3. get an equally kick *** amp to power all 3 channels...

4. keep rears but unplug them. let them collect dust.

5. enjoy your new tunes.

you need the rears for surround. If Iam going to drop all this money into a system I would want rear speakers. They added them for a reason. 4 momo polk 6.5's sound better then 2.

You sound like your serious about audio, So ill tell you this, DO whatever you need to to make a set of speakers fit in the rears, I own a Pair of MOMO 6.5's and ill never buy another component ever, i had them in me DSM and they were killer. To achieve good sound staging you need to have Somethng in the rear. If you cant make the 6.5 or 5.25 fit, Boston Acoustic makes some really nasty 4" speakers. GooD lUck
