i don't see anything either, but might i be so bold as to suggest that you read here (http://www.3geez.com/showthread.php?t=44809). it might help answer your question about the base speaker size. as for any other pieces, you will likely have to do a little creative placement.

yes they will. i also suggest reading the thread that eyeguy posted. he spent a decent bit of time putting that together so threads like this would be avoided.

well the size 6.5 is no prob, but the mounting depth is like 2 1/16, that might be a bit too tall for the fronts, you might have clearance problem with the window rolling down. i think under 2 for mounting depth is good.

nice speakers but if that's a typical infinity speaker you might need to cut the 3gee's mounting basket's back a bit to make the large magnet fit but depth wise, it's no problem

yeah but if you read below he has clearence with the window issue i think...?
you can always do shims, but not sure if everythings sits flush then.

I don't see the point of getting two sets of 6.5" component speakers. The whole point of going component is to get amps and subs. Your sub(s) will give you all the low end you need, and the extra 6.5" speakers are not going to help your imaging in a 3g, so why bother?

And yes, anything over 2" is cutting it too close. Good luck w/ that. Maybe since there won't be tweeter protrusion (only the dust cap) you MIGHT be able to add a spacer between the mounting bracket and still clear the stock speaker cover, but I wouldn't take the chance if it was me.

Peace.
