3 way components in the door...

I want to install Focal Utopia 165w3 in my doors. I have a way to fit all the speakers in there, im just worried of how the sound stage will be. The 6.5 will be in a good place, but then the 5 3/4 will be getting close to the seat. What do you think? can this/should this be done??

I've seen a C5 with a 3 way setup in the door but they cut a hole in the door to make the midrange fit. What I would suggest is to use a kick panel or have custom pods made which will attach to the door. BTW, awesome choice in speakers http://web.camaross.com/bb/smile.gif

I would definatly get a custom pod created of some sort, I'd even cut into the door if I had to. I'm not too concerned with that (at the moment), I just want to know if all this trouble is worth it if I will get a good sound stage. i'm sure i can tweek the speakers once i can mount them securly. Just looking for opinions.

I had three ways in the doors, I used custom pods for it. I built the pods, there's a link in my sig.
