There is only about 2.5" of average depth between the side panels and the body on a 2/3-door car. Don't forget that the body curves inwards as it gets closer to the window on the outside, and the armrest is sunken about 2 or 3" back from the panel on the inside. You are limited to where you mount the speaker, as there is a cross-brace immediately below the armrest which helps stiffen the body. That means the speaker has to be above the armrest level...
You could probably fit a 4" deep 4" speaker there, but as the speaker gets larger you run out of room quickly. In a previous car, I ran a 5.25" Polk separate back there that was 2 5/16" deep, and it actually rubbed on the body. I used electrical tape to prevent the rubbing, but I don't think you want the speaker magnet to touch bare metal... :)
