I bought 4 6.5" Premier's. I took apart my door panel. My stock speaker itself is a 6.5, however theres metal surrounding it holding the speaker which mounts to the door... it's a lot bigger than 6.5. Basically, my new 6.5's arent big enought o screw onto the stock holes, they dont reach. Any ideas? I saw Coomer on the forums saying we can make the brackets ourselves using MDF...what's that?(dumb question)... For now, I'm sawing off the old speaker from the bracket and glueing on the new on to the bracket so that it screws on(i REALLY don't want to do this...). Any ideas?

The space is A LOT bigger than 6.5":

Using a drill with a metal cutting disc stolen from Home Depot, I cut the stock speaker's bracket thing so I could fit the new one:

This is what it should look like(I will glue them together using JB Weld steel glue, most likely... it worked well with my S2K antenna, it hasn't fallen off yet):

After that, I'll just screw them back on to the door. Hopefully this works well. I hope the glue can hold the speaker on, I don't want it falling off (the speakers are pretty heavy). If anyone has some ideas, comment,s suggestions, ANYTHING would be greatly appreciated at this point in time. Thanks.
