Okay so heres the story, i just bought/ordered 4 new speakers for my car, and i thought everything would be fine, because i've used this shop to order about 10 times, just a local shop in my home town , but he's never failed me...

long story short he got me 4 6.5" speakers, but all 4 have the 6.5" mounting brackets, anyone have any advice as to how i can install the 2 that have to go in the front being as they have 8" brackets on the stock doors? thanks much.

they are 6.5 inch speakers in an 8" hole... wow... only the 8 speaker systems had 8" speakers... the size of a speaker is measured by the cone, not the metal on the outside... there is an additional 1.5" of metal on the front speakers to fill the gap... they are 6.5" speakers, not 8".... they can be replaced with 8" speakers (these will be woofers, or sub woofers - not a good idea) or 6.5" speakers with custom brackets made from the original speakers or plastic... end
