6.5" Speaker Spacers
I've been lurking on this forum to seek for a best solution to mount aftermarket (HAT if you want me to be more specific) speakers and it seems like purchasing spacers is inevitable. Many threads from the past are dated and most of links are down or no longer functioning. The only useful link I found is this - http://www.car-speaker-adapters.com/items.php?id=SAK033 but it seems that this will even need further modding as the inserts are too small for HAT speakers to be mounted.
Anyway, as we are in 2015, is the product from the link above best we got? $33 (incl. shipping) seems a little steep for two spacers but I don't have much choice. (I don't plan on doing MDF because it will suck moisture and will deform over time)
Thanks in advance.

I'm sure you could coat the MDF in urethane or something similar to keep it from absorbing moisture. You could hack up the stock baskets if necessary for speakers that run into the bottom of the basket. It depends on the speakers you use. I used the adapter rings that came with my DB6501s and foam baffles for my install.

I just ordered a set from http://www.car-speaker-adapters.com/...earch_consumer
Received an email a day later saying they would refund 50% of my purchase price if I send them pictures of my install.
These are also made of PVC so no worries about deterioration over time.

"Our CNC machined PVC speaker adapters are far more durable than conventional injection molded speaker adapters, and will not rot like MDF or wood"
And I was really surprised when they emailed me about refunding half of the purchase. Thanks for the confirmation that they also gave you your money back.
Hopefully they arrive quickly, excited to get everything installed.
