I think this is what Dan's talking about:

St2=3D-69385880&St3=3D86673877&DS_ID=3D3&Product_ID=3D6701&DID=3D7
thanks, Dan, btw
But I'd definitely be interested in possibly learning the fiberglass - =
what's all involved? Is it like paper-mache (sp?). Would I need some =
sort of template?
Thanks, Vince! (the ETKA rocks, btw! So does Nero 5 (all I need now is a =

Hmmm... Aside from doing it custom I don't think you have any options. =
I checked in my books here, and there's no adapter that's anything like =
that. Adapting a 5 1/4 to a 6 1/2 isn't bad, but going from 4x6 to 6" =
isn't going to happen. You simply have to make a plate. It shouldn't =
be too hard, and it's defenately a good idea. 4x6 is a horrible size =
and you won't get any low end responce from it. I always just make up a =
fiberglass pod that aims up towards me, but then I work at a car stereo =
shop.=20
Fiberglassing really isn't hard and I could walk you through making a =
simple pod if you'd like. Hell I can even make a set and ship em to =
you. If a pod isn't an option, just make up a plate yourself. You'll =
probably have to gut out the stock 4x6 hole, and just open it up as much =
as you can. Take the doorpanel off of course, get a sheet of ABS =
plastic, and cut out the desired shape.=20
A day should do it! Let me know if you need more help.
Vince

Now that I'm on a tight budget, I need to find some way of =
installing my 6.5" JLs in the door of my cabby. I would really like to =
find a way to put them where the 4x6s go so I can keep the pocket. I =
know I've seen mounting plates in the past that would provide the added =
depth, but I checked Crotchfield and found nothing. Anybody have an idea =
where to look? Vince?
Thanks in advance -=20
