the speakers in the doors are 6.5" circular speakers, right? so if you you buy 6.5" aftermarket speakers, they should fit right? well, mine don't! toyota made their 6.5" speakers extended on the sides so that they could bolt onto the support thing that holds the speaker in place. this is a real pain in the @$$ for me because i took my whole door panel off to find out that i was not going to be able to put in my new speakers.
knowing that all our cars are pretty much the same, and that many of you have after market speakers in your doors...how did you get yours to fit? i'm desperate! --------------------  this is what happens when your little brother is better at photoshop than you are |

this is very common as its happened to everyone.......do a search the information is there....i even think there is a HOW-TO in the HOW TO section....
easy way is go down to home depot or sumthing and buy a lexan/plastic type piece (should be hard and about 1/4" thick) (you can even steal a tray from taco bell).......cut out a 6.5" center hole and then cut it to fit the stock bracket screw the speaker to the piece then screw the piece to the stock bracket wala! |
