Default Front Door Speaker Adapter Bracket

I just bought a set of JL Audio component speakers and the speaker frame and magnet are too big to even fit in the stock plastic basket even if i cut it.


I was looking at Lucid's adapter kit, however i tried calling several times and no one picks up. Im not even sure if they are still in business.


What has everyone done about using true 6.5 inch speakers on our doors when the stock basket cant be trimmed enough for it to fit?

are there any other places i could purchase a adapter kit so it bolts up?

thanks

Take the stock basket and trace the shape. Cut it out of 3/4" MDF if you have the tools.
