Got any close-up picts of the 6.5" speaker install ? Would like to see how much trimming was necessary and any necessary spacers. Did you have to trim the dash grill ?
Other than a pic with one of the woofers in the back ground. Yes a fair amount of trimming the speaker frame was needed. I used a Dremel with a sanding cylinder. And yes, the speakers come with an adapter plate that I used as a spacer along with some rubber gasket material that would compress and fill in any irregularities to seal the drivers in mounting. I have to say, I am pretty well versed at making things work and figuring things out, but I found mounting these speakers a pretty tight fit. They're done though and sound really nice . A bit more Bass ability than the 5.25" drivers. If I had to do it all over again, I might try harder to piece together a component speaker system with some 6" drivers.
