tell you what.

I got a set of Rainbow Made Arc Audio goodness I will let you steal from me for $175...

They are 5.25" set and they will kick the shit out of them kappas on EVERY front

You'd definately do better with the Arcs from Ryan... far superior

As for the back... why not look into putting 6" midbass back there as replacement for the 6x9"s?

Or scrap the rears and get the front stage right first

ha, i would take those arc audios but making those fit in 6 3/4" would take a while.
how can i make 6" midbasses fit in the 6x9?

actually with a $5 sheet of thin abs you could cut a adapter plate to fit in no time, problem solved. the difference between coaxials and components is amazing. I had to do the same thing, make aq trim plate for 5.25 to 6.5. easy

True... You could go without entirely and probably wouldn't even notice :)

I'd personally make baffles out of MDF because it'll be less resonant than plastic. Just figure out what size you need the MDF baffle to be in order to bolt onto the door panel and then cut a circle out in the middle of the MDF. Mount the 6 1/2"er in there. Then try a couple different locations for tweeters to see where they sound best and mount them there.
