Is that a 6x9 or -?-

BlackOp

4x6.... just allows for more depth. You cant use these for plate speakers..Infinity Kappas. That illustration is incorrect...

I need me some of those!!

Isn't buying stuff from DC auto "ill advised"??

Could I paint them brown and have them look nice?

You can get those from sunset imports as well. I have those in my 89 NA, I responded to your thread when you originally found the spacers the other day.

From my 944 Stereo FAQ (at http://reality.sgiweb.org/wws/stereo_faq.html):

... A second, and nicer-looking, style of 4x6 mounting was used in some later ('88+) cars. This is a two-piece assembly consisting of a thick plastic frame and a snap-on grille. The grille area is made of metal with a plastic surround. The frame acts as a spacer, making it possible to mount speakers as deep as about 2 inches. For example, an Audax VE4X6F0 mid/woofer, which is 52 mm deep, barely fits. It actually presses against the window track.

The parts list for the later grille assembly is:

* 944-555-149-00-01C Grille (2 needed)
* 944-555-159-00 Frame (2 needed)
* 477-035-375 Bushing (8 needed)
* 043-938-3 3.9x22 lens-head sheet metal screw (8 needed)
* 011-522-7 Washer (8 needed)

Note that the bushings are important to space the frame out far enough from the door panel to allow the grilles to snap on. Also note that the replacement speakers MUST be the European oval shape,- not rectangular. The replacement speakers must also have a thin steel mounting frame like the OEM speaker - not a thick plastic one.

I had to use those speaker grills on my doors because my Polk Audio speakers stick out a little farther than the OEM ones. I got them from a guy on here parting out a S2 a couple of years ago. They look much nicer than the plastic OEM ones.

Yes Kev they will look good but not with paint you got to tinted them if you need the name of the tint let me know.
