Has anyone tried to install the Morel 6.5's in an early LX470? I have a 99 that had the Nakamichi stereo and wondered if these speakers would fit in the stock mounts?
Are the stock mounts the speaker boxes? If so, I've seen videos where the box was easily trimmed for 6.5" speakers. The Morel 6.5's are pretty shallow at 2 3/8". In my 01 LC there is plenty of room, not sure why I ever read that there was a need for a speaker on the shallow end. As well, the stock speaker mounts on the 01 LC work perfectly fyi.
In my case (alpine speakers) - their "top" is about 5mm taller than stock if measured from mounting base. So, in order to fit them under panel you need to trim stock mounting plastic. I wanted solid surface, so I trimmed 11mm and added 1/4 ABS rings

With those Morels it looks like plug and play installation, no need to touch anything
How deep of a driver do you think would work?
I'm not sure on the boxes but here's a pic of one of my speaker mounts on end with speaker installed. Even if the speaker came out the back end of the mount there is room.
