Got Speakers, Need Opinion

had same problem with mine, just let it stay that way. Looks alright in my opinion and isn't THAT noticeable. Granted if I had more time I would probably just make a custom speaker grille that would cover it all, but it's not a high priority.

How did you get that in there? That is exactly what I need to do. My problem is that the actual plate is too big to fit inside the cutout in the upholstry. Did you modify something?
Thanks

If i let them stick out a 1/4" and put the stock grills over them, it doesn;t look to bad since the spakers have black plates, so i can live with that.

I think I did it by popping the door panel loose at the bottom then sliding the speaker in kinda sideways. Put a couple of screws in the top to hold the speaker while you re-secure the door panel.

I did exactly what Slevy did. Just unscrew and easily pop the bottom of the door panel out. You should probably unscrew your window switch plate so that you won't risk creasing the door panel. Slide in the speaker attach with screws and re-do the panel. Took less than 10 minutes per side and I'm slow.
Yes it buldges a little but it looks better with the screens against the door panel. Funny thing, you'll notice it more when you wipe down your panels with the shiny stuff than any other time. Do it and see if it suffices for you.
BTW, do not over tighten your screens. They are old and brittle.

If it does stretch it won't be by very much. At some time in the future you go back with OEM sized speakers then when you screw the screens down it should fit right back to original. On mine, albeit Blaupunkts, it doesn't bulge out very much.

Non-plates but they were approx. same size and thickness as yours, i.e. they were too big to go through the hole unless tilted. I poped the whole panel out. Just be very very careful on the back edge of the door. Get a wide screwdriver and cover the edge with a layer of masking tape (or duct tape) and gently pry up at the plastic pop spots. Pry slightly on each side of the pop rivet like thing.
