6 3/4" speakers in front doors?

[JoeyBones]

What adapters are ya'll using? have you made them fit?

[Mighty_Mouse_Ep]

The largest that i have seen fit in the front doors are 6 1/2 inch a 6 3/4 speaker i think would be to large to fit. Are you planning on putting in a 6 3/4 inch speaker?

[JoeyBones]

haha going to try...i already purchased them...could hardly pass up the deal i got....looks like this may need some real custom work huh?

[JoeyBones]

what thickness ring do people typically use to fit a 6.5" in the door?

[introvert]

1/2" to 3/4"

Anything more and you're likely to run into the door card. Can depend on the speaker's mounting profile, too.

[JoeyBones]

ok cool...now to find some that are cut and hopefully local!

i didnt use a spacer. i used the spacer my speakers came with(polk db651) that is like less than a cm thick

cut the hole and and drilled new screws in

[JoeyBones]

yea, but I actually bought 6.75"...I think I'll require an adapter... and i'd rather not cut the door if possible.

I have Kicker KS650.2 6 3/4" components in the front doors. I tried having them use adaptors, but the metal baskets were too big for the triangular speaker openings, so I had the installer cut the openings with tin snips to make the speakers fit.

i got the db651
don't waste your time getting the db651s
i hear they're for cars with little or no room. the ep has plenty room.
