Suspected cause
I think there's plenty of depth in the door itself - the limit on the depth is due to the "sub enclosure"...
Leading evidence: '"sub enclosure"' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is '"sub enclosure"' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace door subwoofers' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

In the past these (Tang Band) have been the "go to" for people upgrading/replacing the door subwoofers

They're using the door speakers as mini subwoofers I guess.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

For the front door speakers (non bose enclosure), I understand that the maximum depth for the 5.25" is about 2.18". I got some aftermarket speakers that are 2.40 inches.
Do anyone know if there will be a door panel clearance issue if I fit a .25 or 1/4" inch spacer on the speakers? I think that is about 5mm.
Thanks,
I think there's plenty of depth in the door itself - the limit on the depth is due to the "sub enclosure"... you may be able to modify it (cut out room for the magnet and put your spacer on the back of the enclosure where the magnet pokes through - glue the cutout to the spacer...)
Just be careful about the speakers you use if you have the factory amp. When I was replacing my stereo (left the stock amp and speakers in) I noticed that they have the amp sending only bass to the door speakers while the high frequencies go to the dash speakers. They're using the door speakers as mini subwoofers I guess. If you put in speakers that don't handle bass well, you might get crap sound.
Of course, if there's no amp, this probably doesn't apply.
Cool, Thanks for the picture. Looks like it can fit at least a depth of 60mm which is approx. 2.36 inches. That is very close to my 2.40 inches that the speaker in come have. I wonder how much play there is in the back of the speakers until it touches. Its interesting because on Crutchfield, the Morel 502 shows does not fit with a depth of 2.25 inches, but the Morel maximo 5 shows that it fit with a depth of 2 3/16"
I will report back to see if my 2.4 inches speakers fit with no issue....
Just to clarify, Are those bose speakers you have or the regular hifi speakers?
^^^ Hi-Fi... Pull the door apart and see what's going on there, before you get too far in formulating a plan or buying components. Yes, the door speakers are subs - low frequencies only.
Lol, I pulled it out twice the last two weeks, and never had I thought to measure it. Sigh.....
I have a mini alpine power pack amp that is hiding behind the radio so the speakers will be powered straight from the amp.
While I'm sure the Focal's are great, the price is on the steep side... In the past these (Tang Band) have been the "go to" for people upgrading/replacing the door subwoofers

Though I haven't done them myself, many others have had success with these. I'm not sure about the effect of 4 ohms vs 2 (perhaps lower output?) but others have said they didn't notice much if any difference.
