speakers not fitting in vs door pods

[clyde]

hey

just ripped my door trim off to install my new jbl splits only to discover they dont fit inside my vs door pods, and none of the holes line up. any1 know how you can get around this? they are 6" speakers

thanks

sand/file some of the plastic out so they fit, and make new holes for the screws to go into.

next option(probably a better one aswell), make/buy a set of mdf spacers and **** off the plastic one.

The speakers are probly 6.5" and the pods are only 6".

[BeastVS]

That shouldnt matter. I fitted my 6.5" Jaycar splits in without a spacer or hacking up the pod. It just takes alot of fiddling around.

yer

thats what i ended up doing. had to cut some of the metal off speaker but no drammas. bit of a trick to gettin them in but worked it out in the end

I thought the hole was 5 3/4"....Maybe the 6" I have in the shed will fit after all.

[garfa]

stock speakers are 6 inch, not 6.5 or 5 3/4".

it depend son the speaker as to if you need to cut the pod, jaycar oens may fit but his jbl ones didn't.

i would cut the pod, NEVER the speaker, for obvious reasons.
