Will I have any clearence problems and how much spacing or how thick should the baffle be? Thanks 1998 Contour SE V6 2002 Focus ZTS 1980 Turbo Trans-Am

Both of these speakers will fit in the front doors of the Tour. The Alpine SPRs are 6.5" speakers, about 2 3/4" deep. The Vifas are 7" and deeper still. If the Vifas fit in the Focus with a 1/2" spacer, they should fit in the Contour with ease. 2003 Ford Focus ZX3 "Tarmac" http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2352003
