We seem to get these questions a lot, so lets get all the information together and get this stickied to help people out.

Please post the speaker, whether you were able to fit it or not, and if so, what you needed to mount it. If you used a different method to install a speaker that is already on the list, please post also so that all options can be included in the list.

hey bud, whcih part did you have the fitment issue with the ms6a just curious i dont doubt that it doesnt fit, but there seems to be members here who have fit bigger midbass drivers than it in their doors, such a infinity kappas, alpine type-Rs and diamond hexes

again, just curious, i personally, obviously hate the stock location hehe, i have done two stock door locations recently, one with UP6 via .5" spacer, one is an iridium 6 with a .5" spacer.

basically all the DLS ultimate spekares, with the hybrid neo motor, will fit with a .5" spacer

I just purchased a set of pioneer components for the front. It has a 2.5" mounting depth. Will it fit without spacers needed? How about the tweeters.

I couldn't get the magnet to clear the window... I suppose you COULD do it if you moved it all the way to the edge of the mounting hole but its very close.

Stock location, what's that? Bump for a useful thread. Unfortunately, I had pods the whole time so I cannot contribute much.

fatalus

JL audio VR 650 CSi components: Woofers fit with a small spacer, tweeters fit perfect in the stock mounting location. No cutting at all and stock look!

What size spacer?

fatalus

I dont know actually cause they installed it where I bought the speakers. But from what I saw it could not be more than 1/4 inch.

dang. so theres really no way to fit the MS6A? (in stock location, that is)

sintaxeror

iTrader: (3)

It looked like you COULD fit it.. but the clearance would be VERY tight... like... somewhere in the neighborhood of a human hair.

I just shelled out the extra cash for the UP6, which fit EASY.

Bump..
added Infinity 6010cs, thanks teh215.
added Focal 165 VRS and 165 K2P, thanks Roper215

My speaker is like rubbing with the plastic, I'm hella confused, and I have the Infinity speakers.

sintaxeror

iTrader: (3)

Which infinity speakers? and which spacer are you using?

vnarang

iTrader: (7)

Infinity Reference 6010cs 6-1/2"/6-3/4" 2-way Component System

I'm using whatever came with the set. I was new to this scene, and I didn't join these forums until AFTER I bought the speakers. Also, I didn't install the speakers. I'll post pictures. I completely f*cked up everything I did. I'm really irritated at myself. I don't even think a spacer was used.

sintaxeror

Well chill out a little and order some Zenclosure spacers, that is what teh215 used. Should be a pretty simple install once you get them. Report back if you have other problems, plenty of people to help here.

iTrader: (7)

I am chill, just telling you how I felt after I found out this information. Just to get it straight, basically the spacer pushes out the 'surrounding' so it doesn't rub, correct?

sintaxeror

iTrader: (3)

Here is a visual for you, these are pictures of my speaker installation

Spacer in place:


With speaker mounted:


So you can see, the purpose is to space the speaker out of the hole so that the magnet doesn't hit the window glass when the window is down.

These were 1/2" spacers, you may need more - I would go with 1" because you can buy them easily and someone else(teh215) has already used them with the same speakers you are using.
Does that help?

vnarang

iTrader: (7)

Are you recommending spacers for the front speakers or rear speakers? Because I'm having trouble with the rear speakers; they are rubbing against the plastic and look really off. I will get you pictures. It may be depressing.

vnarang

iTrader: (7)

Basically, the part where the arrow is, that's where it is rubbing against the plastic and creating nasty noises.

Also, is it recommended to get rid of the rear tweeters, and if I do, is it possible to patch it up?
