Default 93' 6.5's in front doors?

I got a kenwood head unit today at wally world on sale and it came with two 6.5 speakers. I've searched every where pretty much, I can't seem to find out could I use them in my front doors and what would it take to make to make them work?

I have a 96 xj and a put in 6.5" speakers front and back. They fit in with no problem at all. The 5.25 speakers are smaller than the holes made for them. 6.5 fit in snugly.

I did replace the stock covers in the back because I wanted to use the grilles my speakers came with. I don't think the stock covers fit. I left the doors alone, all stock looking. I did make new holes in the sound bar for the bigger speakers, its real easy, I did it by hand with a screw driver no drill needed.

So you don't need to make holes bigger in the front doors? I'll be trying this tomorrow thanks!
