Even if you've installed a mid from a manufacturer that publishes dimensions that would help a great deal.

Appreciated.
In the doors, you have roughly 23mm of space below the plane of the mount point -- less than an inch. You can add to that clearance with a spacer; a typical F30 spacer with 10-13mm of rise works well for most 4" drivers. Any more than that and you risk the driver making contact with the door card, which has a ring moulded into it that mirrors the position of the driver.

On the back deck, depth is not an issue.
