Ya... I'm going to see if I can find some chalk and mark the raised area of the speaker ring; so I can see exactly where it is interfering with the inside of the console when I am replacing that. I want it flush and completely seated.Originally Posted by Hornblower

I had the same problem because at first I didn't cut anything and just pushed it in. I had a buddy(my arm is in a sling) cut the areas that needed cutting and it went back together great. Maybe you just didn't cut enough? He cut maybe 2 to 2 1/2 inches off each area. It should fit fall right into place if you cut enough
Like others here that have lost the nut that holds the speaker in place you can buy the grommet that holds the nut from Honda to fix the problem
No, I cut off the left and right side areas.... but the bottom portion needs a little trimming too... from what I have deduced so far.
All of my nuts are intact.

I bent the lower left of my left speaker basket at the area the snap was, 1" slightly. The right side snapped on no trouble.
Make sure your speakers are mounted in the orientation I showed in a picture.
Earlier in this thread, I showed fender nuts and wall anchor combination I used after the oem speaker nuts came off.

Put some pollyfill in the baffles and you won't loose any next time. The polyfill saved my butt 2 times already.
Here is a site where you can order them from. Looks like EBay may have some of the parts cheaper.
#23 (Honda part number 90111-kw3-003) looks like the nut before it is scrunched up after the first use.

So I just finished trimming the JBL speaker(s) again.... besides the areas I initially Dremeled out (outlined in GREEN) I now just finished removing the raised lip area (outlined in RED) by bending it down lightly with pliers, and using tin snips to remove it. This was the area of the speaker's outer metal ring that was keeping the main instrument console cover from seating properly:

Now the main instrument console cover fits CORRECTLY and without any gaps.Just how I like it.

Glad you got yours to fit.

For anyone who hasn't dug in; metal nibblers are the bomb for this type of modding work.
Here's an amazon link but you can probably get them many other places. http://www.amazon.com/Parts-Express-...YVPGRNMZMB023A
That is an interesting tool. I did not know that it existed.
Dremeling these speakers with a cut off wheel certainly can be a little messy; with all of the shavings adhering due to magnetism if you don't wrap the speaker up to prevent such. That is why I opted for the tin snips this second time around... was much cleaner. Though I wish I had one of those nibbler tools now...
