Hey I have the Rockford Fosgate t1462 speakers and they wont fit in the dash. The tweeter sticks out and the bottom wont fit without touching what looks like a heater box (?). This is on the passenger side. What can I do to make them fit? I havent even tried the driver side.

1986 camaro z28 iroc

 

the mounting depth is 2 INCHES on these speakers!

 

if you can, return them, i put 4x6 sony's in my dash. sorry to hear that my friend

 

there are a few that fit without modification, polk db 461

 

There's a tech article on thirdgen.org that takes you step by step through the installation of a set or 4x6s that "don't fit". It's a simple procedure to heat up the plastic heat duct to gain the clearance you need. For the tweeter, you can take a dremmel to the underside of the speaker grills to get the clearance you need.

 

Like the other comments, you can fab it to work or get other speakers. I have Clarions in my dash, but they are not that great. just picked up 96Z28 & it has Rockfords in the front door panels. I am very happy w/the sound of that brand as I never used them before.Many posts have noted the Polks sound very good. Best wishes

 

I went with the polk db 461. I hope they sound good they will be here today. Some rockford t163 are getting here today as well for the rear speaker replacements. I didnt really wana cut up and melt my dash and heater components, poor car
