i had the same problem and i just used a dremel to cut out the excess metal using the template. Then i just painted over the cut edges just in case. The thing was that the speaker barely hit the window as it rolled down.

In your case, i would recommend fabricating or buying a bracket.

Try this one:

Im not sure if they are correct one, can someone verify this?

yeah i used tin snips to make my holes larger, i have Alpine Type S, and they do rub when i roll the window all the way down, but whatever.

you need a 1'' spacer. You can buy them for $15-20 at best buy. Depends on whether you have more time or money i guess.

so with a 1inch spacer i will clear the door panel to?

depending on how deep your speaker goes, if anything you might need to go larger, but not too big or else you wont get the panel back on.. 1 inch sounds reasonable, just measure

1/2" MDF and airsaw for the win.

the brackets wont let you clear the door. unless you dremel out part of your door panel.

well, that would depend on the magnet

I put polks in my front and used a 1/4 inch spacer. It fit you just had to rotate them cuz they only fit in one way. They sound great, good choice.

cut a peice of 1/2 mdf like christmaspie said. Screw it onto the metal, then screw the speaker into that and your done

yeah it will clear the door, but rice is right, you do need to cut the plaste folds where the speaker grill is on the door panel. I just need to cut two of the plaste tabs in the door grill and it fit perfectly. You might be able to get away with 1/4'' spacers depending on the magenets like others have said.

with the one inch spacer you will probably not be able to clear the door panel. when I installed my diamond audio's, the spacer didn't give enough clearance.

well depends on what speakers you have a how big the magnets are. I installed pioneers on mines and didnt even need a spacer

^^^true same with my infinitys, they are designed with a shallow mount depth

check the link in my sig. it's a sticky too now. 3/4" MDF spacer will work. i show how to make it in the thread. that will give you 2.5" of depth for the speaker and the door panel will still go on easily. what polks do you have?
