(If you remember)Thougt I wold get an answer from you.ThanksI do have the Polk 650s. No door modifications necessary. The Polk 650s literally bolted right in. They fit fine and there was some room left behind them. At least 1/2 inch or so, if I remember correctly. Quote Selected
Size on speaker holes in door Reply #4 – July 13, 2018, 05:41:04 PM thunderjet302,On an '86 Cougar GS, there are no factory speakers in the doors, right? Just in the dash and in the rear deck? To install speakers in the doors, I'd have to cut holes in my door panels, correct? So did the LS's and T-bird LX's come with 6 speakers (dash, door, rear deck)? Thanks. Quote Selected

So did the LS's and T-bird LX's come with 6 speakers (dash, door, rear deck)? Thanks.If the car was ordered with premium sound then it had 6 speakers. Two in the dash, two in the doors, two in the rear deck. The door itself has holes for the speakers. You would have to cut the door panels for speaker holes if your car did not have door speakers from the factory. Quote Selected

Worst case, you will be running wires up to the dash speakers. Quote Selected
Size on speaker holes in door Reply #7 – July 14, 2018, 09:22:56 PM My car is an '85 GS ... when you remove the interior panels, the door will have holes to accept speakers and the wiring should be there.You can use something like this: https://www.hifisoundconnection.com/Ford-Aerostar-1986-1991-Factory-Speaker-Replacement-Connector-Harness-Kit-HA-725510-15?utm_source=google&utm_medium=base&utm_campaign=GoogleBaseFeed&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwLeoh_if3AIVwR6GCh1PNgGNEAQYAyABEgJcVPD_BwEThese will go from the speakers to the factory wiring harness clip in the door. In all the car's I've taken apart, I don't think I've come across one that didn't have the wiring there ... but I'm sure they probably exist ... maybe a car without power windows, locks, etc. wouldn't have the wiring.
