I need help installing some 6.5in alpine SPR-17C speakers in my 08 lancer. its a lancer DE w/ regular factory speakers, not the rockford fosgate option. my problem is this, the speaker mounting spot is triangular, and not circular. the supports of the speaker are too wide and so the speaker doesnt reach all the way into the opening (because the opening is not circular the speaker hits the flat ends of the triangle). currently im thinking i have to cut away some metal, but id have to get that done professionly most likely and thats exspensive, so does anyone have tips for either cutting the metal, an adapter piece that will work on the lancer, or just a trick to getting them in?
make a baffle out of some mdf wood. You can screw the baffle into the metal to secure it and the wood will give you an extra .75 inch of clearance, and hopefully that would be enough. You might have to cut the plastic off the door over the speaker for this and put a separate grill over the speakers to make this work though
