Door Speaker help

[GPGT2004]

So I'm putting in my after market speakers from my old car finally. The speakers are 6 1/2's but they wont fit in the plastic bracket thing that bolts onto the door. what do i do. cut the bracket to allow the speaker to fit? Anyone ever replace their door speakers and come across this problem

What brand of speakers? I installed 6.5 Polk Audio without any modification whatsoever

You can always make a baffle for the speaker out of a cutting board

I ended up taking tin snips to my speakers and shaped them to fit

Rigidity is extremely important in the basket. Pictures?

I only trimmed the edges on the lip where all the screw holes are. I only took about 1/4 inch off. i already put them in i cant take pictures now sorry. but they sound fine

No two ears are the same

I can pick out every detail and where it comes from in my car. Bothers me sometimes. I can hear the difference in an install too. But in the end it's all about you!! Audio is an EXTREMELY personal thing. Glad it worked out :>
