How do you mount aftermarket speakers in the door of these? I tried calling my local car stereo place, and they don't have an adapter plate, so do i just have to make my own or is there a place i can special order one??

some people just use washers and have it grab the speaker

3 out of the 4 screw holes for my 6.5" speakers fit and for me that was enough.

you can go to like crutchfield or similar store and buy an adaptor plater

some 6.5" speakers have tabs for 6.75" speakers

worse comes to worse ,you could just buy some masonite and make an adaptor plate like any good shop should be able to do if you were to make them install them

I used some MDF and a jig saw to make mine. then I sanded the edges to make it look a like more uniform. Worked out real good.

you can peal the plastic mounting plate off of your factory speaker and screw your new speaker to it, and mount up the original holes

I tried that already, but the new speakers holes won't reach the bracket...I have no way to mount them to the bracket...
