Hello,

Finally managed to fit my alpine HU in with adaptor, so now moved onto the door speakers.

Ive removed the door panels and old speaker which i then removed from the basket.

I noticed the 65.7cs no where near fit, and before attempting to cut this basket I want to check they will indeed fit.

Component set link - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...:MEWN:IT&ih=014

Once ive cut the basket, do i drill new holes into the basket itself, then screw the basket back in using original holes ?

If anyone has a link to a guide or any tips please let me know, ive tried search but could not find anything on the 65.7cs models.

Cheers

 

i think its too big, just removed my door panel and it doesnt even fit into the hole in the door

 

Good aftermarket speakers are typically not a drop-in. You'd need a 1/2" deep ring/baffle to mount the speaker to in order to bring it farther away from the inner door metal, closer to the plastic panel. 1/2" allows one to mount a speaker close to 2.8" or so in depth.

Do use router to cut circles in wood though if you decided to go with a MDF ring. Make sure you also waterproof it with paint, tape or resin. I know someone is also selling after-speaker adapters for the S if you don't have access to the materials to build the ring yourself.
