Re: Front speaker replacement (need for adaptors?)

Most folks drill out the spot welds, and reuse the factory adapters. You would have to drill new holes and or elongate the holes where the spot welds were... I used RTV to bond the new speakers to the adapters, to get an airtight vibration free fit. They have positive offset that allows the magnet to clear the window when rolled down, plus places the front of the speaker inside /against the door panel. The adapters shown are flat, the speaker face will sit behind the opening in door panel. You can add foam strip to bridge the gap and prevent vibrations.
