I recently bought 6.5 inch speakers for the front doors and realized the stock speakers are 7 inch..is it possible to put the 6.5 inch ones in there?

yes. There are adapters on the market that'll let you mount a standard 6.5" speaker in the Chrysler 7" three-ear locations.

You can hold the speakers in place and mark the speaker mounting holes, remove the speaker, drill the holes and use some 1" or 1 1/4" screws to mount the speakers. It's kind of a pain since the stock adapter rings have a plastic ridge where the screws need to go, (Thanks Dodge!) but you can make it work by chopping the ridge out where the screws need to go. You could also make some adapter rings out of MDF, or tempered hard board. Just make sure to use some foam tape so the adapter doesn't rattle on the door or speaker.
If you want to spent the money, Best Buy, Circuit City, or a stereo shop should have the adapter rings. I think I have seem some on Ebay also. I don't know how much they cost since I just drilled through the stock ring into the door metal.
