Component Install Question
So I am having issues getting my components installed. I made some 1" MDF spacers, but they still had a gap between the speaker and the door with the magnet hitting that bar in the door. How'd you guys make it work or have any ideas/pics.
components are a set of CDT CL-62

just hack the factory speaker out of its plastic twist mount, screw the new speaker to that and twist it back into the door. No spacers needed and u dont have to screw into the door

I can't use the stock mount because A.) I want to keep the stock speakers for when I sell the car and B.) The spacer I made was already as big as the stock and it wouldn't fit. I needed an extra 1/4" of room. I got the stuff I need to make it work for about 10 bucks at home depot yesterday. Now I just need the time to install it.

I've seen plenty of people use that method with speakers with stock or less mounting depth. I'm getting frustrated enough with these speakers that I'm thinking about just selling them and hooking up the sub with a line out converter.

Just take out the stockers, cut the metal that holds the plastic speaker on so you have 6.5" diameter all around, and use a spacer....its really easy.

well i guess I dont know what you are talking about because you definitely cant fit a 6.5" speaker without using a spacer and cutting the door where the plastic twists and locks in. I have T.M.A. speakers which is made by JL, and I used to work at a car shop, so I think i know what i am doing.

clearly not 'cause all i've done and many others have too is cut the plastic piece that the stock speakers use and screw ur speaker into those and twist back into the holes. U don't need to cut, or drill into ur new car. I don't doubt that u know what ur doing but these speakers aren't exactly mounted like other cars so u may not have seen it before

You may have to register.
The speakers are not small...JL VR series 6.5 in front and back doors
3 1/4'' magnets

ahhh now I know what you are talking about, bu for the record, i've never seen anyone else use this method. Plus, I can put mine back to stock if i want/need to.
