hey man did u have to modify the speakers and put the mounting screw (to door) through them. as i put my speakers on the adaptor i dont have enough space to get the screw in.I just installed a pair of JL Audio C2-650X coaxials in the front, and I'm putting another in the back. They're labeled 6½", but they're closer to a 6¾", so they fit perfectly into the Ai HSB524 adapter. Also got the Boom Mat 050330 baffles and the Metra 72-7800 wire harnesses. Prep time took about ten minutes per speaker, and about fifteen minutes to install per door. With the speaker baffles, you'll notice I cut the bottom half of the rear portion out. I've read a lot of complaints regarding the sound being muffled. A lot of videos and forums say cutting it helps alleviate that issue, and it still keeps any water from possibly falling onto the speaker. Also, it keeps the speaker from rattling. These speakers fit perfectly, but I had to cut the provided screws down to about ¾" with a sturdy set of wire cutters. Otherwise, they would hit against the door panel. On the 12th image, I circled the placement of the four black screws in yellow, and the main screw that holds the adapter flush to the door panel in green. The rest of the install is very simple. The wire harness only clicks in one way, and the positive/negative terminals are two different sizes. No confusion there. All I would recommend is that you put some blue Loctite on that center screw before you tighten it in all the way. Couldn't hurt.
