Default 6*9 advice in 1999 Mondeo

Hi all,

Trying to get a pair of 6*9 into the front of my Mondeo (1999 S).
I realise that I will need to cut a bit out from the 5*8 cut outs
that exist but am limited by the depth to the window.
I have between 71 and 79mm depth to window from inner skin, so max of
70mm rear protrusion.
Just got a pair of infinity reference speakers 9603i, but did not now
the depth till removed panels, these nice infinitys are 81mm rear
depth, bummer! So can anyone suggest a model that will go in ok for
the depth? I want to keep existing positions for full stealth. Tried
some 6.5" 2 way kenwoods with adaptor plates, but they sound pants
compared to the factory fit Fords! BTW driving direct from a JVC
KD-G701 with no intention of an amp or sub; its a family car to be
full of kids stuff!

Ok , I had a Ka which used the same OEM 5*7's as the mundaneo.

Kenwood KFC?6808s [1]which were a 6*8 speaker with a narrow surroud fitted
in , but as they were deeper than the standard ones so I had to make some
5mm spacers to move them out a bit. Running off the OEM CD player and also a
decent sony HU they were a big improvement on standard speakers.
