If you pull the factory speakers out, is there ANY obstruction that comes between the speaker hole proper and the external skin of the door (ie. window tracks, braces)??? Would it be possible to mount a 6.5" with a 3" mounting depth in the door? I haven't seen one in person yet, mine won't be here for a couple of weeks. Anyone have any pics of the bare door, especially the speaker opening??? Any help would be appreciated.

yes there is an obstruction about 1/3 - 1/2 an inch into the door (window rail). you'll have to make lift out spacers (even the stock speakers sit on lift out spacers). I mounted 6.5 speakers with a mount depth of 68mm. that required a 3/4 inch spacer and only just cleared. 3 inches would require about 10mm more of space. It should fit, but make sure you line it up with the door card as you're close to max.
