8" speakers in doors, Yes I've searched. New problem Options

[GTSOwner]

In reference to this topic (http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=36658), I've bought 8" speakers, a size which apparently fits with very little or no modification, only to find out yesterday that they do not fit in the stock brackets. The diameter is too big. The only difference I've found is that in the topic, Silver94celicaowner has the 8 speaker system, whereas I have the 6 speaker system. Is the bracket for the lower speaker any different is this case? I have tried both with my Illusion Audio Nd 8.1i and some Kicker SSMB8s and neither fit.

Help!

The stock 8" brackets will not fit kickers 8" midbass speakers.. What you have to do is do some modifications to the bracket -- what I did is cut the thing directly down the middle, I then put the speak inside to where the bracket fits around it snugly and then I sealed the entire speaker around the edges and the one inch gap I had in the middle. Fits perfectly in the door.
