Subject:Re: can I put 6 1/2" speakers in a Westy?

In the stock door location the problem is more an issue of flush
mounting the speakers, rather than size. If you don't flush mount the
speaker, they will hit the side of the dash. And I do mean flush mount,
not surface mount. The speaker grill should not extend any more than
1/4 inch above panel.

For the front doors, the most common place for larger speakers is down
near to the footwell.
