I had read previously on different posts about the front speakers being 6 3/4"s...NOT. Got me a pair on Kenwood's KFC-1738C. They sound great but they don't fit. I am thinking of finding hard plastic and cutting it to fit the hole where the speakers go and make it a custom round frame. Maybe I can get a couple of frisbees to do the job. haha. If only the plastic on them were hard enough.
Any other ideas?

6 3/4" is not the correct fit for the front speaker in Celica's. Even though crutchfield says it is its not. They are actually 8 inch speakers in teh front door and 6 3/4" in the rear. I also made the same mistake and has an installer create adapter rings out of ABS plastic. Make sure to fill the space with some sound filling material, as the adapters can somtimes vibrate if not securely fastened. Also I had to change the balance of the speakers to the front, since if the receiver is set 50/50 front/rear you will hear the rears due to their proximity in the side. Probably the reason Toyota put 8" speakers in the door.
