Re: Rear speakers help

Are you saying they stick out? If thats the case you just need some with a smaller magnet. I had to put my new 6x9s in boxes because the magnet was to big

No the big plastic interior piece that houses the speaker sticks out past the speaker lip the speaker is sitting correctly just looks like there's a big gap in the top and negative down low didn't know if I need a round speaker

Re: Rear speakers help

Can you post a pic of what you have? Sometimes people add spacers and/or brackets that aren't original.

Re: Rear speakers help

Usually that plastic piece will pull off the speaker. it snaps on for a decorative trim. Just unsnap it off.

Re: Rear speakers help

You have a few choices. Trim the plastic on the speaker or trim the sail panel so everything fits. Buy some different speakers that fit better.

Personally i would trim the speakers to fit better.
