what series of infinity are they? Kappa,Referance or Kappa Perfect? I think whay he means is that the speakers are too deep for the hole, which they really shouldnt be. Pull the old ones out and put the new ones in the opening you should be fine. Jered

If you keep watch on ebay, you can pick up some mounts for them. That's where I got mine.
