ED makes brackets for 20 bucks that fit 6-1/2s. plus they're 250 bucks for a high quality set of comps and 165 for a good set.

MDF wood is around $20 at local hardware store. I also recommend no rear speakers! Leave them stock. IMO!

this is a baffel...

yeah... and the $250 High end comps that nebster mentioned are actually only $185+shipping through Scionlife's discount

eD(i)6500s
www.edesignaudio.com/groupbuy.php

you'll definitely need an amp for those though, a Nine.2 is a good match for them..

all standard media (radio, SAT, CD, MP3) is all recorded in stereo mode. Stereo means only 2 channels (whereas mono is only one). true SQ is all about reproducing the exact recording the way the producer wanted the song / track to sound. Since almost all media is recorded in 2 channels, you only need 2 channels to accurately reproduce the recording, hince the reasoning for having only upgraded fronts, and stock or no rears.
