I get a little under 2.5" with the window down.

The window was not a factor with mounting depth. However -- you do need to make sure your deadening is pressed firmly in place on in inside of the door or else your window can catch the adhesive and put some stress on the motor and can leave ugly sticky spots on your window. (I learned)

You screw the baffle in WITHOUT the speaker in them. You can then reach your hand inside and tighten the nuts. THEN, you mount your speakers to the baffle.

Thanks for the templates

I used your templates to make a mounting panel out of .5" MDF. I then attached a 3/4" mdf ring to that in order to space out the speaker since mine had a huge mounting depth. After cutting off the trim around the inside of the speaker grille on the door, it fit like a charm. This would be a good option for anyone who plans to go with a deep woofer.

Thanks alot for sharing your work.
